Donna Karan Essence: Labdanum (2005)
by Donna Karan

Very rich and dry with just a hint of "aged wood" to it. It maintains a dry raspy quality and performs beautifully with excellent sillage and drydown. It is a bit linear, as one expects from an essence that may be blended. However, woods always do well with development on the skin, and that can vary from person to person. It does well on its own, and would make an outstanding masculine - it's absolutely unisex. I recommend testing first.

A sensational gorgeous fragrance! Very resinous and easy to layer with others - Ambre N by Hermes for example.

Yum! This and Wenge are really great scents in their own right. Labdanum is leathery and a little sweetened, like a complex oriental with spices, gourmandy notes and animalic notes.
