What does Nixias smell like?

It opens with amber, cashmeran and oud, which set a woody, resinous, slightly smoky base. In the heart, raspberry adds a fruity sweetness while ambergris brings a soft depth. The base of musk and oakmoss carries it into a warm, earthy finish. Fresh and floral touches stay behind the spicy, oriental character.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Voters lean slightly towards fall and spring, though all four seasons get close votes, and it is picked most often for leisure. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits comfortably between the two. Swiss Arabian Shadha and Kerosene Blackmail have a close profile.
