What does Ex Voto smell like?

Most voters recommend it for fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and sits comfortably at the office too. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a sizable share finds it feminine.

Pink pepper, Roman chamomile and sweet clover give a cool, herbal, lightly spicy opening. At the heart, frankincense resin, frankincense oil, mastic and frankincense ash build a smoky, resinous weight. Sandalwood, ambergris and gaiac wood settle it onto a soft, woody base. Fuego Futuro and Sacreste have a close profile.
