A very decent offering from Jo Malone and a great addition to the Cologne intense range. Speaking of the black bottles, I have to say that despite all being very good in their own right, they don't offer much in the way of unique composition with the exception of Oud & Bergamot which doesn't really smell like either but manages to be the stand out of this line. This kinda suffers with the same thing because it's a fairly straight forward spicy incense fragrance. The opening is a heady refreshing olibanum, bubbling and zesty like a cool gin & tonic. Elemi also has this similar effect so those two are very apparent off the bat. Then the spicing becomes more apparently woody, it's a peppery woods vibe, which is kinda like sandalwood without any of the creamy element to it, rather than cedar. This definitely has a more grimey element to it than avignon or cardinal which I think are more uplifting and frankincense/elemi dominated. I have to say when dried down I get the quality and warm of my favorite resins, balmy labdanum and benzoin remaining close to the skin after being initially quite strong. I think the quick fading down to a skin scent is not always a bad thing especially with scents like this and the fact I'm wearing it in the summer. Performance is okay generally. All in all it's good and props the Jo Malone company for moving into this territory because it suits and enhances the range. I wouldn't buy it but if they did a mini set with all of these in I would definitely get it. Update: Deep into the drydown now and it has vague qualities of Armani myrrhe imperiale or black afgano but not as deep or luxurious. Still nice though, as heavy spicy woods go this delivers. I love labdanum and I definitely feel the vibes in here.
