What does II-I Luci ed Ombre smell like?

It opens on frankincense, and the heart brings moss, ginger, jasmine and tuberose. The flowers read fresh and sweet, ginger adds spice and moss an earthy note. The base holds cedarwood, patchouli and more frankincense, with smoky and animal touches in the accords.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and autumn, then winter, with summer picked least. It is mostly suggested for leisure and daily wear, and it also fits the office. Most voters find it feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. The Dua Brand White Florals and Incense and Filippo Sorcinelli Plein Jeu III-V have a close profile.
