Is this fragrance suitable for an office environment?+−
Generally, no. Its heavy incense, tobacco, and resinous profile is very artistic and evocative, which most find better suited for evening events, leisure, or formal occasions rather than a professional or business setting.
How does the tobacco note manifest in the dry down?+−
The tobacco here is dry and leafy rather than sweet or "cherry-like." It works alongside the frankincense and cedarwood to create a smoky, slightly aged atmosphere reminiscent of an old study.
How strong is the floral component?+−
The geranium and ylang-ylang are secondary players. They don't make the fragrance smell like a bouquet; instead, they provide a powdery, slightly waxy texture that complements the resins and spices.
Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
It is classified as unisex. While the wood and tobacco notes are traditionally associated with masculine perfumery, the resinous myrrh and powdery floral heart make it wearable for anyone who appreciates dark, atmospheric scents.
