What does True Word smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and although the number of votes is small, the scores lean positive. Value for money is rated highly too. With no gender lean, it suits both men and women.

The top notes are cardamom and pineapple, giving a fruity freshness. In the heart, sage, frankincense and vanilla take over; vanilla sweetens the scent while sage and frankincense add spicy depth. The base of tonka bean, patchouli and sandalwood leaves a warm, woody trail. Creed Aventus Cologne and Kajal Kajal Homme have a close profile.
