It reads as a whole rather than in stages: leather, tobacco and oud build a smoky base, while benzoin, frankincense and myrrh add resinous warmth. Linden blossom and tomato leaf bring a floral, green freshness, and clary sage steadies the spicy side.
Longevity and sillage are rated good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small. It suits men and women alike, and with its heavy, smoky notes it feels easier to wear in cooler weather.
