Starts sharp and bright, but that fades within a few minutes to an softness in which the wood and sage comes out. Smells almost like there's an undertone of cigarette ashes in the distance on me (I'm not a smoker). The pine scent remained with woody notes but also with an aromatic, almost floral, ashy background. My skin chemistry has a strange relationship with fragrance, as it seems to always read differently on me than reviews that I read, so I've started spraying a piece of fabric along with the scents on my skin for comparison. The sharpness of the pine and shiso is much more prominent on the fabric, with some kind of alcohol undertone. It stayed much brighter and greener on the fabric, somewhat astringent, with definite sage and herbal note that I didn't get on my skin; I like it much more on the fabric than I do wearing it.

Solstice Scents does resinous incense fragrances so well. This is another amber-y resin with gentle woods plus light herbal notes. As it dries, I get a combination of frankincense, men’s cologne and spiced bay beeswax . This does have a touch of the body/skin scent that some ambers give me, just that little bit of skanky, but overall this one is a very pretty, gentle incense fragrance.

This perfume smells like spiritual safety to me, it’s full of woody, herbal, resinous magic. I immediately loved this one. I put this on whenever I am very stressed because I find it incredibly calming in such a unique way. This is a treasure.

"Infused with resonate sound vibrations for each major chakra, attuned to 432 Hz." WTF?!?!?! I was about to order this in a sample set, then read this and it put me right off... I'll stick to my non-vibrating smells thank you very much.
