What does Aramis Special Blend smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It is described as a men's fragrance and has been discontinued.

It opens with cinnamon, clary sage and bergamot, a spicy and green start. In the heart, whisky and cypriol add a smoky, earthy touch. The base settles into Virginia cedar, cashmeran and tonka bean, woody, sweet and creamy, with leathery and resinous accords in the background.
