Its sillage is rated as good, and most voters find it leaves a clear trail, though the number of votes is small. There is no information on season or occasion, so nothing can be said about those. With its smoky, resinous build it suits those who want a heavy, characterful scent.
The top holds saffron, blackcurrant and sulfur, giving a fresh, green sharpness at the start. In the heart, frankincense, iris and cypriol bring a resinous, slightly floral and smoky turn. The base of gaiac wood, Java vetiver, black amber and cashmeran adds woody, earthy and animalic depth. Carner Bestium and Caron Secret Oud have a close profile.
