Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and also works for the office. Voters tend to read it as masculine, with a good share calling it classic.
It opens with petitgrain and saffron, a green, spicy start. In the heart, sage, iris and myrrh bring a powdery, resinous layer. The base of hiba wood and mugwort keeps it woody, smoky and earthy. Moresque Aurum and Aēsop Ouranon have a close profile.
