What does With the Candlestick smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long while without filling the room. There is no season or occasion data to add beyond that. It carries no gender lean and suits men and women alike.

It opens with cinnamon leaf and cherry wine, a spicy fruit warmth. In the heart, labdanum, wax and church frankincense bring a resinous, faintly incense-like air. Musk and smoke form the base, and the scent softens into a smoky sweetness.
