What does Valley of the Kings smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters rate longevity high, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It is classed as a masculine fragrance.

Lemon and orange bring brightness and blackcurrant a fruity edge, all set over a warm, resinous base of sandalwood, labdanum, musk and vanilla. Damask rose adds a soft floral note, while patchouli gives a woody, slightly smoky and powdery depth. Emir Fascination and Nabeel Al Ghadeer have a close profile.
