What does Stories by Lapidus - Supreme Desire smell like?

The top is gin, elemi resin and rosemary, which opens sharp, herbal and resinous. Jasmine, clary sage and lavender in the heart add a soft, floral and aromatic note. The base of Brazilian rosewood, pine, gaiac wood and moss settles into a woody, slightly sweet foundation, with spicy and synthetic tones staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Voters pick a night out and daily wear most often, with leisure and business close behind. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Those after a close profile can look at Tom Daxon Salvia Sclarea and Annayake Tomo Intense.
