What does Maroquin smell like?

The opening carries saffron, black pepper and bergamot, pairing citrus with spice. In the heart, Somalian frankincense, Virginia tobacco and iris come forward; in the base, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood and leathery notes give it a sweet, smoky and earthy footing.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though feminine votes are close behind. Annette Neuffer Per Fumum: Ambra Luminosa and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
