What does The Holy Cave of the Apocalypse smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: frankincense, black frankincense and Indian frankincense form a resinous core, while pine and galbanum add a hard green edge. Black pepper and tobacco draw a spicy, smoky line, and styrax and orris root set it on a dry, earthy base. Vanilla, tonka bean absolute and bitter almond bring only a little sweetness, and deer musk and ambergris leave an animal, skin-warm trace.
