What does Emprise smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes are spread fairly evenly across the year, with winter and autumn slightly ahead and spring picked more often than summer. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and also works for nights out and daytime.

Lemon sits on top, with oud, resins, apricot and woody notes in the heart and spices underneath. The citrus and fruity brightness blends into the smoky, woody character of oud and resin and dries down on a sweet warmth.
