What does Ottoman Empire III smell like?

It opens with rose, Bulgarian rose and white rose alongside jasmine and frangipani, while pepper and cardamom add spice to the floral start. The heart brings vetiver, saffron, Indian oud and nutmeg forward; in the base, myrrh, sandalwood and oakmoss close it out with a resinous, smoky, creamy warmth. Oriental and animal tones darken the character.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it is linked mostly to nights out and evenings. Voters lean somewhat masculine, though many also call it feminine or classic. Ottoman Empire and Ottoman Empire IV have a close profile.
