What does Desire / شهوة smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. No clear lean towards a season or occasion shows up, and it reads as unisex rather than masculine or feminine.

It opens with frankincense, oud and rose. Raspberry and saffron in the heart add a spicy, slightly fruity warmth, and amberwood, benzoin and geranium settle it onto a resinous, earthy base. Leathery and animal touches deepen the dark mood. Avapari Oud Berry and Ajmal Noble Notes have a close profile.
