What does Ashes smell like?

The top notes are clove and absinth, giving a spicy, green start. In the heart, Atlas cedar, Virginia cedar, gaiac wood and patchouli build a woody, earthy body. The base of musk, frankincense and amber leaves a resinous, smoky warmth.

Most voters recommend fall and winter, while summer picks are few. Leisure, evening and business wear are favoured in similar measure. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters read it as mostly masculine, though some find it feminine. Comme des Garçons Series 3: Incense - Kyoto and Arquinesia Scent of History have a close profile.
