What does Makan Blend / Makkah Blend (Perfume Oil) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Evening and leisure wear lead, and the character leans a little more masculine than feminine.

It opens with lavender, bergamot and green notes for a fresh start. Patchouli and coffee bring an earthy depth to the heart, and the base of caramel, vanilla, Indian oud and deer musk settles into a sweet, resinous, animalic warmth.
