What does Manor Fire (Perfume) smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Charred wood, charred leaves and smoke lay down a dry, ashy ground, while labdanum, frankincense and oud add a resinous weight. Vanilla, beeswax and fossilised amber soften the edges and sweeten it. Woody, spicy, leathery and animal tones run through the accords as well.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those readings are tentative. It is dense and warm, and sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Words The Best and Lattafa Raghba have a close profile.
