What does Crown of Marmara smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, then winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and evenings. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though classic and feminine votes also carry real weight.

It opens with bergamot and neroli freshness meeting the hard, smoky edge of styrax, Peru balsam and leather. In the heart, patchouli, benzoin, caramel and resins add a sweet, earthy warmth. Sandalwood and amber gather that warmth onto a woody base.
