SmokyWhat does Eau Sacrée smell like?
Frankincense, myrrh and labdanum form the backbone; amber softens that resinous core, while spices and patchouli add a dark, earthy warmth. Vetiver strengthens the woody side, and musk smooths everything in the background.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is unisex. Heeley Cardinal and Aveda Chakra 1 have a close profile.
