What does Artaban smell like?
The scent reads as one piece: cinnamon and cardamom bring warm spice, leaning on the resinous, slightly herbal feel of cistus and marjoram. Green and floral accords take the edge off the spice, while the woody side sets a calm base underneath.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it sits close to the skin and wears comfortably. Most voters pick fall, with winter next. Leisure and evening wear lead the votes. Most voters find it more masculine, though a fair number read it as feminine.
