What does afirewithin (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as strong, and most voters score them high. It reads unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine.

Taken as a whole, the jasmine absolute and tuberose florals are balanced by sandalwood, cedarwood and cypress. Frankincense and oud add a smoky, resinous depth, while vanilla brings a creamy softness. Chamomile and apple lend a green touch that lightens the warmth.
