What does Perseide smell like?

The flowers come first: Bulgarian rose, orange blossom and tuberose open fresh, with a slightly aquatic floral feel. In the heart, leather, Egyptian jasmine absolute and Chinese geranium add a spicy, earthy edge. As it dries, oud, New Caledonian sandalwood and musk take over, settling into a woody, creamy base.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though few voters have weighed in. Being unisex, it suits skin of any gender. It shares a close profile with Ajmal Cuir and Tom Ford Oud Minérale.
