Cycle 002

The top is citrus-led, with lemon, mandarin orange, bitter orange and bergamot. In the heart, cumin, black pepper, chili and clove bring the spice, softened by elemi resin. The base settles into a sweet, resinous warmth from frankincense, Peru balsam and labdanum, with cedar and gaiac wood giving it a woody floor.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the sample of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Its spicy, resinous character suits anyone who likes a warm, composed scent, and it reads equally well on men and women. Pana Dora Onyx Black and Matca Woody Piperine have a close profile.
