What does First Light smell like?

The top is fresh and green, with eucalyptus absolute, corn mint, tangerine and citron giving it a cool edge. Persian rose otto and jasmine otto soften the heart into something floral. The base leans on myrrh, mastic, frankincense and Borneo oud, while jasmine absolute adds a creamy touch, and the scent settles into a woody, resinous finish.
