Phronema Perfumes Coronation of Sesostris is a unisex scent that sets the resinous warmth of myrrh, labdanum and benzoin against the leathery darkness of tobacco and castoreum.

What does Coronation of Sesostris smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. The dense, smoky, animalic character leans towards cooler seasons and evenings out, and it sits between masculine and feminine rather than on either side.

The scent has a spicy, woody frame. Myrrh and labdanum build a resinous, earthy base, and benzoin softens it slightly. Tobacco and castoreum add a leathery weight, while deer musk and immortelle round off the rough texture with a dry, animal warmth.
