How does it perform?
From 103 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

SmokyWhat does Oliban smell like?
Jasmine and rose form a floral frame, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky tone. Virginia tobacco and Brazilian rosewood ground it in a spicy, woody base. Tonka bean and caramel bring sweetness, and ambergris softens the oriental warmth.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most read it as feminine, though some find a masculine side too. Buchoed Rosa Nigra and Aquaflor Aoud Oman have a close profile.
