What does Series 3: Incense - Zagorsk smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, though it also works at the office. Most see it as masculine, but a fair share read it as feminine.

The scent runs as a single piece: cedar, pine, hinoki and birch wood give a cool, woody frame around the resin and smoke of Omani white frankincense. Pimento adds a touch of spice, while iris and violet soften the edges with an earthy powderiness.
