What does Carticasi smell like?

Voters rate its longevity as good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It doesn't lean clearly towards any season or occasion, and its unisex build suits both men and women.

It opens with mastic. In the heart, ylang-ylang, rose and galbanum meet: the floral side is cut with a green, slightly sharp edge. Cedarwood in the base settles everything onto a dry, woody floor. The spicy and earthy accords stay in the background. Frama 1917 (Eau de Parfum) and Aēsop Rōzu have a close profile.
