These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.
Across published reviews, most people register this first as incense.
Modelled profile
Olibanum and myrrh give a cool, church-like incense, labdanum and amber warming the resinous base. Pepper and patchouli add depth. Clean, meditative and grand.

Cardinal carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
