What does Iquitos (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

At the start, the spice of ginger and cardamom is softened by the fruity freshness of mandarin orange. The heart holds rose, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and cedar, with floral and green touches resting on an earthy, woody base. In the base, musk, leather and amber settle in, and the leathery, animalic side comes forward.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is seen as better suited to evenings and nights out. Most voters call it masculine and classic.
