What does Atomica smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. It sits closest to leisure, work and evening wear. It is unisex, though most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with elemi resin and ginger. The heart of frankincense, vetiver, cypriol and cedarwood builds a smoky, woody core. In the base, amber, gaiac wood, musk and dry woods round this out with a warm, synthetic edge. Le Labo Benjoin 19 and Atelier des Ors Larmes du Désert share a close profile.
