What does Mayfair smell like?

It opens with beeswax, clove and cardamom, with the spice coming forward at once. The heart holds oud, leather, birch and cistus, where the scent turns smoky and earthy. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, civet, patchouli, cedarwood and amber leaves a resinous, animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. It reads slightly more masculine, though plenty of voters call it feminine. Dior Leather Oud and Zousz Black Oud have a close profile.
