What does Desert Falcon Special Edition smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, so it suits anyone who wants a scent that lasts on the skin and carries into the room. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing more specific can be said on that; the structure itself reads masculine.

It opens with grapefruit, nutmeg, tobacco and cinnamon, with spice and sweetness up front. The heart holds sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and cardamom, and the base cedarwood, leather, oud and amber. As it dries, the woody, resinous, leathery core is softened by a creamy sweetness. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Zousz Black Oud have a close profile.
