What does Adouala smell like?
Cinnamon, cumin and clove give it a warm, sharp spice frame. Rose softens that edge with a floral touch, while patchouli lays an earthy base. Atlas cedar, Canary Islands juniper and Somalian frankincense pull it towards a woody, resinous and smoky character, with an animal tone sitting in the background.
Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough picture. With its dense character it suits evenings more than daytime, and it reads equally well on men and women. Zara Bright Rose and Zara Sensual Oud have a close profile.
