What does Inspire smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, with most voters scoring both high. It suits anyone who likes a heavy scent that stays on skin and carries into the room, though the vote count is small, so treat these ratings with caution. It reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.

Beeswax, cardamom and clove give a warm, spicy start. In the heart, amyris, oud, leather, birch and cistus deepen it, bringing out smoky, resinous tones. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, civet, patchouli, cedarwood and amber dries down animalic and woody.
