What does Magnifica Lux smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. It sits comfortably on both men and women, with no clear lean either way.

The top notes are bergamot, cotton flower and iris; the heart brings powder, labdanum and frankincense. The base rests on myrrh, ambroxan and oakmoss, giving it a woody, resinous footing. Floral, creamy and gourmand accords soften the sweetness, with a spicy touch running through. Moresque Seta and Diptyque Opsis have a close profile.
