What does Holy Stick smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, and votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it doesn't sit clearly on one side.
In the top, elemi's green freshness meets clove and cardamom. The heart of frankincense, petitgrain and cedar builds a resinous, woody core. In the base, patchouli, amber and Palo Santo sweeten it and carry the smoky feel through to the end.
