What does Lingyin smell like?

It opens with pink pepper and moss, then settles into a dry, cool woodiness built on orris root, cypress and cedarwood. The base of patchouli, papyrus, ebony and frankincense brings the smoke forward, keeping the scent matte and composed rather than soft.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but not heavy trail. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with business and evening also getting votes. The masculine side leads in character votes, though it reads as unisex overall. Les Élixirs Oud and Bleu Nomade Antarès have a close profile.
