Starts with incense, saffron, and chili that promise a lot. Then you notice myrrh on a woody, bitter base, but the heliotrope never really comes through. The downside is that half an hour after applying it, it’s almost undetectable unless you get really close. It seems this brand has a serious issue with longevity, as the sillage is very weak. Maybe it’s my skin or my nose, but that’s a different story.
