ResinousWhat does Sacro e Profano smell like?
The top notes are pink pepper and orange, so citrus and spice come first. In the heart, saffron and rose add a floral, oriental warmth, and oud lays a woody, resinous base underneath.
Longevity and sillage are both rated as good, though the number of votes is small. Its spicy, oud-led build doesn't tie it to one gender. Dior Purple Oud and Ormonde Jayne Belle de Nuit have a close profile.
