What does Volcano smell like?

The top pairs Indonesian nutmeg, Bulgarian rose and Laotian red ginger for a spicy opening. In the heart, Indian cypriol, Somalian frankincense and Indonesian patchouli add an earthy, resinous weight. The base of oud, cistus and benzoin settles into a warm, smoky woodiness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out. It leans somewhat masculine, though a fair share of voters read it as feminine. By Terry Rose Infernale and Diptyque Oud Palao have a close profile.
