What does Misbah smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage strong, though these views rest on few votes. With no season or occasion votes, it is best not to tie it to one time of year; as a unisex scent it reads neither masculine nor feminine.

The top of rum, pimento, rhubarb and black pepper is fresh and spicy. Cinnamon, orris root, galbanum and Greek saffron lead the heart. The base of vetiver, patchouli, labdanum and Bourbon vanilla leaves a woody, oriental warmth. Creed Original Santal and Ministry of Oud Amber Oud have a close profile.
