I get a distinct incense character right from the beginning, and not the more perfumy incenses. More like those dark black sandalwood incense sticks, the kind you’d smell at a Far Eastern temple. Woodsy, smoky, resinous – yes. A touch of a brighter scent in there too. Some say lemon or orange, comes across to me as a fresh wood with the pitch still intact to me, maybe pine. Not much of a warm weather scent, better as a cool spring, autumn, or (somewhat) winter. And maybe suited for damp or overcast weather, too.
Sillage is reasonable but not too overbearing, and I found the longevity moderate.
