The top notes of raspberry, peach and everlasting flower bring a fruity sweetness first. In the heart, leather, cumin and patchouli add a spicy, smoky edge. The base of myrrh, frankincense and musk closes it with a resinous, oriental warmth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share call it feminine. Penhaligon's Halfeti Leather and Olfactive Studio Chambre Noire have a close profile.
