What does Desert Water smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means this is only a loose impression. There is no season or occasion information, but the woody, resinous character makes it a calm, understated scent. It suits men and women alike.

Silver fir and black spruce give it a cool, green frame, while Omani green frankincense and Somalian frankincense add resinous, spicy and slightly smoky depth. White ambergris softens the whole and ties it together with an oriental warmth.
