What does Winter Kitty (Perfume Oil) smell like?

As an oil it sits close to the skin. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it lasts a long while without filling the room. Few people have rated it, so these figures are a tendency rather than a firm verdict.

The notes have no top, heart and base split and read as one blend. Mint and Douglas fir give a green, fresh edge, while amber, Bourbon vanilla and sandalwood settle it into a sweet, creamy, powdery base. Moroccan rose adds a soft floral touch, and vetiver and frankincense strengthen the woody, resinous side. Spicy and animal tones stay in the background.
