What does Maasaï Mara smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: Egyptian chamomile, Spanish labdanum and South African buchu. A fruity, gourmand sweetness comes first, with a spicy, woody warmth alongside. The creamy, resinous side softens it and adds an oriental depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, leisure and night out lead the occasions. It leans somewhat feminine, though many voters call it masculine. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Ambre Inspirant have a close profile.
