What does Fall of Phaeton smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall, with winter and spring following, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. It leans masculine in character, though it reads as unisex too.

The top is bright with lemon, bergamot and cardamom, while ginger and pink pepper add spice. In the heart, oud, lavender and labdanum build a woody, smoky base. Vanilla and tonka bean sweeten the dry-down, and leather and musk give it a creamy depth. The Dua Brand The Deadly Fate of Phaeton and Maison Asrar III Thriller have a close profile.
