SmokyWhat does Ching Shih / Redamance - Ching Shih smell like?
The notes read as one piece rather than a sequence of layers. Osmanthus and spices give a fruity, spicy warmth, while iris adds a soft, powdery touch. Incense, gun powder and myrrh pull it towards a smoky, resinous and earthy side, giving it an oriental character.
Ein Gedi Scents of the Bible - Myrrh and Dr. Vranjes Ambra Iris have a close profile.
