From your scent profile
La Curie Ossuary is a unisex scent that sets the smoky resin of palo santo, charred wood and frankincense against the powdery floral softness of violet and orris root.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

SmokyWhat does Ossuary smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes makes these ratings only a rough guide. The smoky, resinous character sits closer to cooler weather, and it reads equally well on men and women.
The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base. Palo santo, charred wood and frankincense carry a dry, spicy, woody smoke. Violet, Iris pallida and orris root soften that edge with a powdery, floral touch. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Faustus and Afower Blue Iris have a close profile.
