What does East smell like?

East has strong longevity and good sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, while some call it modern.

Raspberry opens with a fruity sweetness. As the scent moves into the heart, leather and oud take over, turning it leathery, resinous and smoky. Ambrox in the base softens the woody, oriental feel and holds it together. Its profile is close to Journey to the East and Ombre Nomade.
