What does Capricorn smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and projection good, though the number of ratings is small. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone who likes a resinous, smoky character.

Frankincense and smoke come first, followed by a resinous heart of fir balsam and labdanum. The base leans on gaiac wood, benzoin, vanilla and amber. The overall impression is sweet, spicy, woody and smoky. Pierre Guillaume 28 Peau d'Ambre and Obscura Fragrancia Old Library have a close profile.
