What does Cilice (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Cilice lasts strongly on skin and projects at a good level. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it settles comfortably on either.

The blend rests on a woody, leathery frame. Benzoin and honey soften it, while cistus and frankincense add resinous warmth. Birch tar brings the smoke, and cedar and papyrus carry a dry woodiness. Green and earthy touches join spicy clove, making the scent firm, heavy and full of character.
