What does No Apologies smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the vote count is small, so those ratings are not firm. There is no season or occasion data, so it is hard to say where it is best worn. It reads as masculine.

The scent comes across as one piece: cinnamon spice and dark chocolate sweetness lead, while sandalwood and oud give it a woody, smoky base. Tonka bean adds a creamy, resinous softness, and magnolia and blossoms stay in the background behind a fruity sweetness. An oriental, earthy feel dominates.
