What does Cave - Alheba smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, labdanum and frankincense, which give it a resinous weight. In the heart, cashmere wood, lavender and white musk soften that firmness and add a cleaner, slightly powdery feel. The base leans on woody notes, patchouli, ambergris and oakmoss, settling into a dry, earthy woodiness. Voters have rated it well, though the number of votes is still small.
