What does Labdanum Symphony smell like?

The scent reads warm and dense as a whole: labdanum and benzoin carry a resinous sweetness, vanilla and tonka bean soften it, while frankincense and myrrh add a smoky, spicy darkness. Amber and ambergris deepen it, with earthy and animal tones staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes are almost even, so it doesn't lean clearly to either side. April Aromatics Calling all Angels and Tom Ford Amber Absolute have a close profile.
