What wearers say
“One of the most unique perfumes I have ever tried.Cannot be compared to anything else.I get a warm aromatic powder.Slightly sweet slightly smokey.It does not smell like a church,but mostly like a library,a prestigious office with woody and leather furniture.It's definetely mature,sophisticated,old money vibes.Only bad thing its its longevity and projection.They are not horrible,just not good for the price.”
“I like this, it is warm and sweet. I only get the amber opening and vanilla dry down. It's a very churchy frankincense feel. Longer lasting than most jo Malone water offerings! Just different enough to all my woody winter perfumes to warrant buying it but if I'm honest it is over priced. Still like it.”
“Exactly as advertised. The opening leans masculine. Close-wearing but long-lasting. Very smooth after it warms onto the skin. This feels like a leather and jeans fragrance, but expensive leather and jeans. The dry down on this is divine, and the final skin scent stage lasts forever. Soft, vanilla powder residue.”
