Our take

Queen Of Sheba is not an easy reach for the morning commute. The opening hits with a sharp, resinous frankincense that feels dry and austere, while the carrot seeds add an earthy, slightly bitter edge that some will find too dusty on first spray. It lacks the immediate sweetness that usually welcomes a wearer, presenting instead a root-like texture that demands patience before it settles into something approachable.

As the scent develops, the iris steps forward and softens the resin into a powdery, violet-tinged haze that feels intimate and opulent. It suits a quiet evening where the air is still and the lighting is low, wrapping the wearer in a warm spicy and musky blanket that feels ancient rather than trendy. It is a choice for someone who enjoys standing apart from the crowd and prefers a fragrance that whispers of old wood and amber over bright citrus. Those who need a clean, soapy finish or a burst of fresh air should look elsewhere, as this composition stays grounded in its rich, green earthiness. The final impression is a lingering, woody musk.
