Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine.
Leather, civet and oud carry the scent, with musk softening them and violet adding a powdery, floral edge. Spicy and woody accords back up the leathery core. The result is dense, dark and plainly animal. Boadicea the Victorious Intricate and Electimuss Alkout have a close profile.
