Very strong initial blast of frankincense followed by the sweetness of vanilla. If you've been to church with incense this will bring you back. Frankincense (notes say amber) lingers much more softly in the background. This feels very soft and close however when I walked outside into the snow I was immediately hit with the frankincense again - pure heaven! This settles into a soft caramel vanilla. Possible fruity notes after I read the notes in the description but very light on my skin. It's mainly linear. Frankincense lingers and comes alive in the cold. Mainly stays a gorgeous vanilla caramel. Reapply every 2-3 hours.
