What does Pearl Moon smell like?

It opens with saffron, cinnamon and cardamom, while pineapple adds a soft fruity edge to the spice. At the heart, suede, Moroccan rose and plum form a floral, leathery blend. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, Cambodian oud and amber settles into a warm, woody, resinous and creamy scent with a faintly animalic touch.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and nearly all voters find the lasting power high. Its dense, oriental character suits those who want a serious, weighty fragrance, and it sits comfortably on both men and women. Tom Ford Oud Wood Parfum and Vertus Bengal have a close profile.
