Labdanum Dusk

Which Should You Buy?
A love-it-or-hate-it scent that punches well above its weight class. Ebony Fume delivers huge smoky, woody vibes at a bargain price, although some get a repellent-like quality. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions sharply, but a solid performer for those who get it.
A divisive scent, Labdanum Dusk starts loud and medicinally sharp for some, but for others, it's quickly softened into an opulent, rich, and deeply luxurious drydown that lingers beautifully. It's a journey, not a destination.
