What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a cold, resinous bite — cypress and juniper cutting sharp over cracked black pepper, smelling more like a forest floor after frost than anything conventionally polished. The heart settles into frankincense-laced sequoia, smoky and austere without going incense-heavy. Dry-down is where the sandalwood and cedarwood finally warm things up, grounding the whole thing in a dry, slightly creamy woodiness that clings close to skin. Projection is moderate; sillage is intimate and persistent rather than loud. — Cold-weather wear for someone who wants timber and resin over sweetness.

Our own description, written from the note list. How loud it is and how long it lasts are our read, not owner reports.
