What does Floating Candles smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. It doesn't settle clearly as masculine or feminine; votes are spread between the two.

It opens with frankincense and linen, and the heart holds violet, amber and candle wax. Moss and vanilla sit in the base. The overall feel is sweet, resinous and woody, with spicy, earthy and smoky shades beneath.
