What does Born for Eternity smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and recommend it for a night out or an evening. More voters read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex.

It opens with saffron, coriander seed and Somalian frankincense. In the heart, geranium, pink pepper, cardamom, oud and praliné build a spicy, sweet body. At the base, leather, Akigalawood®, Ambermax® and Javanol leave a woody, smoky ground. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.
