What does Frankincense & Myrrh (Cologne) smell like?

It opens with orange, lemon, basil and clary sage, a fresh and green start. Myrrh, chamomile and pimento leaf sit in the heart, and the scent then settles into the warm, resinous woodiness of cedarwood, frankincense and sandalwood. It carries an earthy, lightly smoky air.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and leisure, daily wear and business settings lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Paglieri Genua and Etro Shaal Nur have a close profile.
