It opens with sage and basil, moves into frankincense and violet at the heart, and settles on musk, oud and leather. The body is spicy, woody and earthy, while resinous and animalic tones deepen its rugged feel.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. Nearly half of voters find it masculine. Borouj Perlador and Tigha The Dark Side have a close profile.
