What does Victory smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the votes are few, so treat this as a rough guide. It reads as a dense, characterful scent that suits men and women alike.

The top notes of beeswax, cardamom and clove give a spicy warmth. In the heart, amyris, oud, leather, birch and cistus build a smoky, leathery, resinous mood. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, civet, patchouli and amber leaves an animal, earthy, oriental trail. Dior Leather Oud and Boadicea the Victorious Mayfair have a close profile.
