What does Requiem smell like?
It opens with saffron and pink pepper, with amber at the heart. The base is built on vanilla absolute, myrrh absolute, benzoin, cedarwood and sandalwood, while civet adds an animalic depth to the sweetness. A fresh, citrusy note appears among the accords, but creamy, resinous and woody tones carry most of the weight.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on any skin. Majouri Silky Sandalwood and Phil Julian Vanilla CO₂ & Oud have a close profile.
