What does Bursch smell like?

It lasts a moderate time and sits close to the skin, with weak sillage. Votes spread almost evenly across autumn, summer and spring, with winter trailing. It leans towards business, leisure and daily wear; most voters find it masculine, and some call it classic.

It opens with bergamot, lemon, rhubarb and rum, so the citrus and green sides come first. In the heart, frankincense, saffron, pimento, myrrh and coriander add a spicy warmth. The base of vetiver, cedarwood, oakmoss and musk closes it woody and soft. Davidoff Adventure (Eau de Toilette) and Atelier Rebul 1895 have a close profile.
