What does Empiryan smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters pick winter and fall, for evenings and nights out. It is unisex, but voters read it mostly as masculine and classic.

It opens with tobacco and nagarmotha. At the heart, Omani frankincense, Singapore patchouli and Atlas cedar build a woody, earthy body. The base of Bourbon vanilla, labdanum and amber sweetens it and settles into a warm resinous finish. Yves Saint Laurent M7 (2011) / M7 Oud Absolu and Lubin Akkad have a close profile.
