What does Relique d'Amour (2012) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It suits leisure and daytime wear more than evenings or the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and votes split closely between feminine and masculine, so it sits between the two.

It opens with maritime pine and leaves, fresh and green. At the heart, myrrh, frankincense and elemi resin build a smoky, resinous core, while white lily and pepper add a floral and spicy edge. The base of blond woods, musk and moss leaves an earthy, woody finish.
