Laboratorio Olfattivo Sacreste is a unisex fragrance that moves from a green, spicy start into a smoky, resinous woodiness, and it suits cooler-season evenings.

What does Sacreste smell like?

Cardamom, saffron and elemi resin set a dry, spicy tone at first. In the heart, frankincense and black pepper lead, while cypriol deepens the smoky side. Gaiac wood, Virginia cedar and musk then build a warm, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Santa Maria Novella Incenso and Coreterno Hierba Nera have a close profile.
