What does I Am Not a Flower smell like?

It opens with frankincense, ginger and coriander, a spiced and resinous start. In the heart, Chinese toon, amber, ylang-ylang and rose bring the floral side in softly. The base of labdanum absolute, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver settles it onto a warm, woody ground.

Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is an early impression. Suited to men and women alike, its sweet, resinous build fits cooler weather. El Nabil Amber of Yemen and Avon Evermore have a close profile.
