SmokyWhat does Celestial Whispers smell like?
The top pairs frankincense with aldehydes for a fresh, resinous start. In the heart, myrrh and iris bring an earthy, smoky tone. The base turns sweet with Bourbon vanilla, softens with musk and settles on Virginia cedar wood. Spicy and synthetic accents run through the blend.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Its unisex character suits both men and women. Serge Lutens L'orpheline and Room 1015 Purple Mantra have a close profile.
