What does Darkness smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: cistus absolute and labdanum bring a resinous warmth, while sandalwood settles it onto a woody base. Juniper berry and carrot seed add a green, spicy edge. French cypress and Indonesian patchouli deepen the earthy, smoky side. The result is dry, cool and dark-toned rather than sweet.

Profumum Roma Olibanum and Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême have a close profile.
