Mancera Hindu Kush

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on incense, spices and cannabis, moves through woody notes and patchouli leaf, and settles on amber, guaiac wood and vanilla pod.

• incense: dry resinous smoke, the smell of a church rather than a bonfire
• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
