What does Dies Auroræ smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine; votes split evenly between the two.

It opens with elemi resin, hazelnut, pistachio, almond and caramel, a sweet, nutty start. Honey, beeswax and frankincense dominate the heart. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood keep the sweetness going while patchouli and cedarwood build a woody floor. Lattafa Raghba and M. Micallef Aoud Gourmet have a close profile.
