A rare green frankincense from Oman is the glimmering, woody-airy star of this scent, which unfolds in the balance between the individual notes, from juniper and black pepper to cardamom and cedar. The push and pull of the elements amplify one another and smolder into a scent that twists and turns like a trail of smoke from an ancient encampment along the Silk Road.
This light, floral fragrance is a classic, so it’s no wonder that editorial assistant Gabriela Thorne has been loving it recently.

Due to the need for protection of trade secrets, companies rarely give the full listing of ingredients regardless of their effects on health.
