What does Redondo Beach #05 smell like?

Carnation, lily of the valley and exotic blossoms form the floral side; vanilla and amber soften and sweeten it, while spices add a warm edge. Musk gathers everything on a smooth base. Woody, resinous and oriental tones lead the accords, with smoky and leathery touches staying in the background.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. The sweet, spicy build leans towards cooler days and evening wear, and it sits easily on both men and women. Its profile is close to Taif Al-Emarat Classic Oud and Scentido Amber Romance.
