What does Alseif smell like?

The top pairs saffron, plum, raspberry and geranium for a fruity brightness, while ylang-ylang pulls the opening towards flowers. The heart gathers magnolia, violet, Indian tuberose, jasmine and Bulgarian rose into a dense floral bouquet. Moss, oud, amber and vanilla settle the base into a woody, earthy and smoky ground, softened by tonka bean and musk. Powdery, leathery and animal accords round out a chypre character. It reads as a rich, oriental profile that suits both men and women. Boadicea the Victorious Green Sapphire and David Yurman Limited Edition have a close profile.
