What does Abîme (2022) smell like?

It opens sharp and peppery with black pepper, Philippine elemi and chili. The heart of Somalian frankincense, Virginia cedar and Palo Santo brings smoke and resin, and the base of Spanish labdanum and Australian sandalwood softens it into a creamy, powdery wood.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading, and it reads more masculine than feminine. Its profile is close to Reine de Saba Ambre Saba and Affinessence Cèdre-Iris.
