edit_noteFragranova Take

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

The opening leans on vanilla and incense, then a ambrette (musk mallow) and clary sage accord takes over within the first hour. The dry-down settles on incense and tonka bean, giving the composition its lasting character. Comfortable year-round. Most wearers settle on liking it (4.2/5) rather than loving it, a safe rotation addition.
