What does Eau d'Iparie smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind; it is chosen most for evenings, then for daily and leisure wear. Votes on character split between feminine and masculine, so it reads as balanced between the two.

Pink pepper gives a spicy opening, which gives way to a heart of patchouli and cistus with an earthy, resinous feel. The base holds frankincense, myrrh, moss and vanilla; the vanilla sweetens it while the moss and resins keep it woody and smoky. Its profile is close to Comme des Garçons Series 3: Incense - Avignon and Amouage Decision.
