    Musky myrrh and warm woods and cool, damp midnights and it smells like Barbara Steele doused herself in Drakkar Noir prior to being locked in a mouldering tomb for all eternity. Which is to say...

    Love it! A comforting, woody, incense-y smell with NO patchouli! I hate patchouli.

    Smells exactly like Myrrh in the pebble/resin form. There's a moment when it smells like mildewed wood, but that passes into the myrrh. While I love myrrh and I love the smell of proper...

    It is fascinating to read such widely varying responses to and interpretations of this fragrance. If each description were written on its own slip of paper, and you pulled each one out of a hat,...

    This was an extremely strong smelling perfume. It reminded me of church, but was a little soapy smelling. I like the drydown the best. I wouldn't wear this perfume, but I think it still smells...

    Cathedral starts out with a lot of incense, not smokey "there's something burning in the next room" incense. It's good incense, and also a bit of mustiness, but in a good way, if that makes any...

    How can an incense scent be warm and friendly at the same time? I don't know, except this incense scent must have some warm sort of spice in it. It's sort of an oxymoron, but it's an intriguing...

    This is a beautiful fragrance, starting with fresh bergamot, then a wonderful frankincense note. Neither of those lasts long--it goes straight to oakmoss on me, and stays that way for 12 hours or...

    I crave this old cold church smell. It is very goth, and I'm not so I don't get it, but it is such a comforting smell to me. I don't get the youth dew, just incense and old church...maybe a bit of...

    Beautiful and deep incense scent that lingers on my skin for hours. I don't find it heavy, though. The incense has a certain vibrancy to it, a certain kick. I believe it's the bergamot note that...

    In the beginning Cathedral is less exciting than I hoped. I get the fruitcake thing...what is that? ... And instead of a lively raucous party going on in that night time mass at the cathedral,...

    Incensy, dark, a little musty, a little sour, a little spicy but it isn't overtly masculine as it is quite soft. Nice to sniff but not something I am itching to wear all the time. Also it does not...

    Resinous, warm. Feels "good for you," in that flat, earthy sense. And that's my complaint about this fragrance -- it's flat. It doesn't change quality over the hours, and it doesn't have any...

    This is a very nice frankincense and myrrh scent. It smells like cool marble, and church incense. While the oil is high quality and long lasting I would still call this a very simple scent. ...

    Wow, this scent practically tells you it is fall/winter. I have this on this morning and it is 50 some odd degrees outside. This smells like what an old church would smell like with no heat. Some...

    This starts off with a blast of frankincense. Then the frankincense settles down and gets comfy with the myrrh and sandalwood. Overall, Cathedral is incense-y in a warm and spicy way, with sparkles...

    Beautiful. Not much more for me to say that hasn't already been said. A must try for lovers of incense (and churches!).

    Unique and facinating fragrance. Like the cold stone walls of an old church. Dark and spiritual. Incencey and holy. Cathedral is beautiful.
