What does Salacious smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters pick it most for evening, then leisure and a night out, while business wear stays in the background. It reads as wearable by anyone, masculine or feminine.

It opens with cardamom, cypress, mugwort and absinth, giving a green, spicy edge. The heart holds pine needle, smoke bush, sweet clover and ginger. The base of vetiver, leather, patchouli and labdanum turns woody, earthy, leathery and resinous, with musk and castoreum carrying the animal side.
