What does Sanctum smell like?

As a whole it reads fresh and citrusy: bergamot and lemon give lift, while lavender and neroli add a floral, green touch. Beneath, Ethiopian frankincense, sandalwood and benzoin build a resinous, woody, lightly smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters spread across all four seasons, with fall slightly ahead, and mostly suggest evening and leisure wear. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine. It has been discontinued.
