What does Incense Pure smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

The resinous, spicy feel of frankincense and myrrh is softened by sandalwood and cedar. Oakmoss and patchouli lay an earthy base, labdanum and vanilla absolute add a sweet warmth, and iris stays in the background as a powdery touch.
