The Trained Nose

Note

Cistus Incanus

Carried by 5 fragrances in this catalogue

Cistus Incanus smells of amber and leather, and is usually printed in the heart.

What it is

It sits on amber and leather.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud far-carrying
It reads from across a room at ordinary strength.
How long it lasts tenacious
Still there at the end of the day.
