What does Sin Poetry (2018) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters pick it most for leisure and evenings, with nights out also well represented; it is chosen less often for the office.

The top carries spice and a lemon zest freshness, while the heart of cinnamon, frankincense and myrrh pulls it towards resinous and smoky. In the base, labdanum, amber and musk keep the warmth, with cashmere wood and melon softening it slightly. The overall feel is spicy, woody and oriental.
