What does Mississippi Medicine (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds red cedar, frankincense and aldehydes, while the heart of cascarilla, cypress root and European black pine builds a green, earthy forest feel. In the base, birch tar and incense bring the smoke forward, and Spanish prickly pear softens that hard edge a little. A spicy streak runs through the blend as well.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure the top occasion and evening next. Most also read it as masculine. Profumum Roma Olibanum and Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême have a close profile.
