Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though both ratings rest on few votes. It reads masculine.
It opens with black pepper, pink pepper and cardamom. The heart holds frankincense, cedar and geranium, which adds a green, floral touch. The base of musk, labdanum, patchouli and oud settles into a resinous, earthy, powdery ground. Guerlain Patchouli Ardent and Kilian Incense Oud have a close profile.
