What does Sakan smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, spring follows closely, and few choose summer. It leans towards leisure and evening wear rather than the office.

Orange, lemon and bergamot open bright with a touch of cardamom. The heart of amber, cumin and coffee warms and darkens the scent. Patchouli, musk and vanilla settle into a resinous, earthy sweetness. Etro Messe de Minuit (Eau de Toilette) and Louis Varel Extreme Oriental have a close profile.
