What does Lignum Idealis smell like?

Its sillage is rated moderate, though with few votes that reading should be taken cautiously. It doesn't lean toward one gender and sits comfortably on any skin.

The top opens with Spanish cypress, juniper berry and black pepper, cool, green and lightly spiced. In the heart, Somalian frankincense absolute, sequoia and Dreamwood™ build a resinous, creamy woodiness. The base of Virginia cedar wood, Australian sandalwood and Haitian vetiver settles it onto an earthy, smoky ground. Jovoy Incident Diplomatique and Montblanc Vetiver Glacier have a close profile.
