What does Dark Saphir smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions; summer is the least chosen season. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even, so it sits between the two.

Bergamot, raspberry and peach open it fruity, while ginger and black pepper add spice. Jasmine, heliotrope and cinnamon carry the heart into a floral, warm stage. In the base, oud, vanilla and tonka bean deepen the sweetness, and patchouli and frankincense leave an earthy, smoky trail. Portrait of a Lady and Levantium have a close profile.
