What does Journey of Life - Extrait of Dreams smell like?

It opens with clary sage and grape, and the heart brings plum and cypriol. The base leans on castoreum, cocoa and vetiver absolute. The fruity, sweet and gourmand side is balanced by woody, earthy, leathery and resinous depth, with spicy and smoky tones running through the mix.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small; the overall rating is 6.8 out of 10. Its dense, characterful build suits men and women alike. O'Driù Satyricon and OM Parfum Dark Night of the Soul have a close profile.
