What does Hermit Coat smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, heliotrope and fir balsam, while ash casts a smoky shadow over them. In the heart, rose and balsam blend with ambroxan and frankincense, and the base settles into musk, amber and smoke. Overall it reads sweet, resinous and woody, with a touch of spice.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. Evening, leisure and night out come up most often. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits somewhere in between. Anka Kuş Parfüm Betwixt and Between and Giardini di Toscana Christos have a close profile.
