The first smack to the face is FLORAL. No holds-barred rose and carnation.  As it dries down I get a bit more of the kyphi and labdanum, but not much else.  I think this needs to sit and age for a while.

This is largely kyphi tar on me. The labdanum only adds to the deep resin nature of the scent. I get whiffs of silk and benzoin in the background. I can just pick out the rose, but not the carnation. Overall, it brings to mind a scene very close to the inspiration art: a dark room, filled with almost sticky incense, with floral scented drapings in the background.
