What does Become the Shaman (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with milkweed and gray sagewort, which give a green, slightly spicy start. The heart builds a woody, resinous body from Palo Santo, amyris, gaiac wood and copal resin. In the base, Texas cedar, vanilla absolute and tobacco absolute settle it into a creamy, smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. For a close profile, For Strange Women Palo Santo + Amyris and DSH Perfumes Cigarette Fétiche are worth a look.
