What does Spiritus Dei smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on a small number of votes. Most voters pick it for evening and night-out wear, with leisure use not far behind. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine.

It opens with plum and single malt whisky, so fruity sweetness meets the warmth of the spirit. Wheat absolute sits at the heart. In the dry-down, vanilla absolute sweetens the scent while cedarwood and tolu balm add a woody, resinous depth. Kilian Old Fashioned and Kilian Single Malt London have a close profile.
