What does Temple of Horus smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. With no lean towards either gender, it suits men and women alike.
It opens with cardamom and juniper berry, giving a spicy, fresh first impression. The heart of Virginia cedar, Omani green frankincense and myrrh brings out the woody, resinous and smoky side. Benzoin in the base sweetens it and ties it to a powdery warmth. Trudon Mortel Noir and Le Couvent Eau des Missions have a close profile.
