What does Burj Khalifa smell like?

The perfume follows a fully oriental line. Jasmine and ylang-ylang give a floral sweetness, while cinnamon and saffron add spicy warmth. Oud, sandalwood and patchouli carry the woody, smoky feel, and civet with ambergris brings an animal, creamy depth; bergamot and lemon lighten the richness a little.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with nights out and evenings leading the occasions. More voters call it masculine, though a good share find it feminine, so it reads open to both.
