What does Holysm smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, while summer trails behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with clary sage, thyme and fir balsam, a green, crisp, forest-like start. In the heart, caraway, tobacco and labdanum absolute deepen it in a spicy, resinous direction. The base of patchouli, Vietnamese oud and sandalwood leaves an earthy, smoky, woody floor. Robert Piguet Casbah and Orientica Oud Wood have a close profile.
