What does Cathedral smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong, while sillage is moderate, so it stays on skin for a long time without projecting far. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict.

The top notes, green tea and black pepper, give a fresh, slightly sharp start. In the heart, ylang-ylang and narcissus add a soft floral touch. The base is dominated by labdanum, cedar, frankincense, leather, oak and smoke, drying down into an earthy, oriental and smoky character. Ojar Routes Nomades and Miguel Matos Tabacco Smeraldo have a close profile.
