What does Vespers smell like?

Cinnamon gives the opening a warm, spicy tone. In the heart, jasmine sambac, ylang-ylang and champaca form a floral base, while patchouli and Java vetiver pull it in an earthy, woody direction. The base is led by Indian oud, Mysore sandalwood and vanilla; oriental, resinous and animal accords carry the scent into a dense, warm register.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the vote counts are small, so these figures are tentative. Its dense build suits cooler weather and evenings. It is unisex and reads comfortably on either men or women. Strangelove NYC deadofnight and Sospiro Duetto have a close profile.
