What does Ithaka smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the votes are few, so the picture is tentative. Nothing is known about the seasons or occasions it suits. It reads as unisex.

Bergamot gives a bright citrus start. The heart holds frankincense and magnolia, with the floral side staying soft beside the incense. The base is led by cypriol, labdanum, incense resin, patchouli and benzoin, and Virginia cedar adds a woody edge to this warm, spicy, smoky foundation.
