What does Furusiyya - White Incense smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, and just over half of voters give longevity a high score, though the vote count is small, so treat that with caution. Suggested uses are spread widely: leisure, evening, a night out, daytime and work all come up, with none clearly ahead.

The opening pairs bergamot, Mexican orange and apple in a bright, fruity start, with cardamom adding a light spice. The heart is carried by orange blossom, jasmine and white orchid. In the base, vanilla and amber turn sweet while musk softens, and oud keeps the woody, smoky side in the background.
