What does Mystic Incense smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits right in the middle.

It opens with dried fruits and salted caramel, a gourmand sweetness. In the heart, blond woods and Somalian frankincense pull it towards woody, smoky and spicy ground. Cocoa absolute deepens the base and rounds it into a warm oriental. The balance of sweetness and resin gives it a profile close to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Tauer Perfumes Sundowner.
