What does St. Seraphim's Stone smell like?

Its notes aren't split into opening and dry-down; Chinese cassia, Ethiopian myrrh, Cambodian oud and hyssop read as a single whole. The warm spice of the cassia and the resinous weight of the myrrh meet the woody, slightly animalic depth of the oud. Hyssop adds a green freshness, while powdery and creamy touches soften the edges and lend a gourmand sweetness. Chypre and floral accords stay in the background and keep it balanced. Imperial Oud Koh Kong Imperiale and Oxford Ouds Kan Kong have a close profile.
