Across published reviews, most people register this first as vanilla.
Modelled profile
Smoky vanilla over benzoin and guaiac wood, with myrrh darkening the base. It reads warm and resinous, sweetness shadowed by wood and incense. Deep and enveloping, with a quiet smoke.

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.
