Reviews →Miraculum Wars Classic relies on a straightforward backbone of cedar, sandalwood, and dry woody notes. A burst of tangerine opens the scent before settling into a warm spicy, balsamic, and powdery core. It sits close to the skin after an hour, making it an unpretentious daily driver for crisp autumn mornings.
