The white sandalwood note is so cool and creamy, it really balances out the heavier resinous frankincense and snake oil base. Wore it to a dinner party and got three compliments, which never happens with my usual scents. Lasts about five hours on my skin before fading to a soft powdery whisper.
The orris root and frankincense give this a dry, almost dusty elegance that cuts through the sweetness perfectly. It lasted a good six hours on my skin before fading to a soft rice powder finish.
I was worried the rice powder might be too floral, but it actually rounds out the Snake Oil perfectly, giving it a creamy, almost vintage feel. The orris root adds a subtle earthiness that keeps it from being too sweet. Lasts about four hours on my skin before fading into a soft, comforting musk.
