Cardamom, cinnamon and lemon open it, so citrus and spice come forward together. The heart of oud, myrrh and rose adds a resinous, earthy depth. Patchouli, amber and white musk soften the base and leave a warm, oriental finish.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it suits business, evening and leisure wear about equally. Close to half of voters read it as masculine.
