What does Inverno Russo smell like?

The opening pairs white rose with white pepper, and the heart adds clove and cardamom spice next to osmanthus and gardenia. Indian, Indonesian and Chinese oud, Virginia cedar and benzoin form the base. The overall character is floral, sweet and spicy, with woody, resinous, animal and smoky tones in the background.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or a night out; more call it masculine than feminine, though feminine votes are far from few. Prin Krissana and Not Perfumes Vaan have a close profile.
