What does Oliban smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it suits those who want a scent noticed up close rather than one that fills a room. It reads masculine.

It opens with elemi resin, frankincense and chamomile; in the heart, frankincense continues alongside patchouli and citrus notes. The base of leather, vanilla, benzoin and cedarwood closes it on a sweet, leathery warmth. The overall impression is spicy, resinous and smoky. Boss Bottled Absolu and Birkholz Intimate Incense have a close profile.
