What does Impure Thoughts smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, and although the sample is small, most of those rating longevity score it high. There are no season or occasion votes, but the dense build suggests it is easier to wear in cooler weather and in the evening. It reads as unisex.

The notes read as one piece: beeswax absolute and jasmine sambac absolute bring a floral sweetness, while Tahitian vanilla and tolu balm soften it. Cypriote labdanum, patchouli and the Laotian and Cambodian oud add an earthy, smoky, animalic depth, and Omani frankincense strengthens the resinous side. Dior Oud Ispahan and Xerjoff Oud Luban have a close profile.
