SmokyWhat does Shadow smell like?
It opens with raspberry, amberwood and benzoin, which give a sweet, fruity and resinous start. Saffron and rose add a spicy, floral layer in the heart. The base of oud, frankincense and birch dries down smoky and woody.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. Its oriental, heavy character suits cooler weather and evenings. Avapari Oud Berry and Novellista Saffron Whisper have a close profile.
