What does Desvélos smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, then winter, and it suits leisure, evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

It opens with seawater, lavender and heliotrope. Cedar, myrtle and costus build a woody heart. Vetiver, patchouli and amber form the base, where it turns sweeter and picks up a spicy, resinous warmth. Synthetic and animal tones stay in the background. Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh and Lattafa Pride Wajood have a close profile.
