What does Diwan smell like?

Diwan's longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest spring and summer, while fall and winter lag behind. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most voted occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex.

Cardamom, apple, nutmeg and bergamot make for a fresh, citrusy, fruity start, with the spice coming from the nutmeg. Toward the heart, cashmere wood and ambergris soften it into a woody smoothness. In the base, musk, vanilla and patchouli leave a sweet, powdery, oriental trail.
