It opens with lemon and cinnamon; saffron blossom, rose absolute and myrrh lead the heart. The base settles into musk, patchouli, amber and oud. Floral and sweet accords sit alongside spicy, woody, resinous, smoky and leathery tones, with an earthy, animalic depth underneath.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night out. It reads more masculine to most voters, though a fair number find it feminine.
