What does War and Peace II smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, so expect a scent that projects and stays for a long time. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer rarely gets a vote. It leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine or classic.

It opens on Himalayan amber, with Taif rose, Indian rose, orris absolute and Indian patchouli at the heart. The base brings Indian oakmoss, civet, castoreum and deer musk, along with ambergris, amber and Java vetiver. The floral heart rests on a resinous, earthy foundation.
