What does Shaman smell like?

It opens with magnolia, water lily and Indian black pepper, so a soft floral note is cut by the pepper's sharpness. Leather and juniper lead the heart, and iris with Paraguayan gaiac wood settles the base into a woody, smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. It is chosen most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. It reads closer to masculine, though it remains a unisex scent. Mannsbild Leather 'n' Wood and Chronotope English Shoe Factory have a close profile.
