What does No. 08: Labdanum + Oak smell like?

Cardamom, black pepper and carrot seed give it a dry, spicy edge, while maté absolute and vetiver add a green, faintly smoky line. Elemi resin and labdanum bring a leathery warmth, and osmanthus absolute softens the sharper corners.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters pick it most for leisure, then for evenings and nights out, and less often for work or daily wear. It leans neither masculine nor feminine. Wally Incenso Nobile and Laboratorio Olfattivo Sacreste have a close profile.
