What does Tan d'Epices smell like?

It opens with heliotrope and cinnamon, so sweetness and warm spice come first. In the heart, frankincense and ginger add a resinous, slightly smoky depth. Benzoin and cedarwood in the base settle that sweetness onto a woody footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits somewhere between the two. Its profile is close to Atkinsons The Odd Fellow's Bouquet and Erik Kormann November.
