What does Thurible (2020) smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a measured presence. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer hardly features. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with sage, clove, black pepper and ash, a dry, spicy, smoky start. In the heart, frankincense, rose, patchouli and labdanum add a resinous warmth. The base settles on moss, ambergris and leather, an earthy, leathery floor. Rook Perfumes Thurible (2018) and Sigilli Electra have a close profile.
