Olibanum. Cardamome is a unisex fragrance built around cardamom and frankincense, spicy, woody and resinous in character.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though few have voted on either. Season votes spread almost evenly across the year, with fall slightly ahead. It is chosen about equally for daily wear, leisure and business, and less often for evenings and nights out.
Cardamom and davana give a spicy, lightly sweet start, with lavender adding a green freshness beside them. Patchouli and cedarwood set an earthy, woody base, while frankincense brings a resinous, smoky warmth.
