What does Ex Votos smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though few have voted, so the picture is tentative. They place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, then evening and nights out, with some wearing it to the office too.

It opens on immortelle, beeswax and pandanus. The heart of goldenrod, broom, candle wax and narcissus turns floral and creamy. The base of hydrocarboresine, animalic notes, ylang-ylang absolute and angelica adds a spicy, woody, resinous warmth. Zoologist Bee and Jousset Parfums Tonkin Tonka have a close profile.
