I love it, but the weather has to be right; if it's warm and sunny outside, it can be a bit off-putting. But as soon as it gets gray, cold, and wet outside, I can't do without it.
It starts with a hefty dose of incense, pepper, and resins that also remain in the drydown. However, cedar and lavender join in to lighten the fragrance a bit.
