What does Basileus Precious Treasure smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, so it stays on the skin and also fills the air around you. There are no season or occasion votes to lean on, but its woody, resinous build suits men and women alike.

It begins with Guatemala cardamom, Sichuan pepper and Nepalese pepper, giving a warm spicy start. In the heart, star jasmine and wild freesia bring a floral note, joined by American white cedar and Ethiopian frankincense for a woody, resinous feel. The base of Australian sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla, Brazilian tonka bean and oakmoss dries down sweet and oriental.
