What does Myrrh Casati smell like?

Myrrh, frankincense and benzoin lay down a resinous base, while saffron, cardamom and pink pepper add a spicy edge. Gaiac wood and patchouli bring a woody, earthy tone, and liquorice softens the dryness slightly. The whole stays dark and oriental from start to finish.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, so it sits fairly close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes run close, so it reads as sitting between the two.
