What does Gilded (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top is spicy, led by cardamom, cinnamon and ginger, with a bright citrus edge. The heart of brown sugar, orange blossom and immortelle turns floral and sweet, with a green note staying in the background. The base settles into woody notes, frankincense and opoponax, leaving a warm, resinous finish. The perfumer is Joshua Kale Smith. Gather Perfume Mellis and Xerjoff Kobe have a close profile to Paraphrase Gilded.
