Skunky's take: Sleeps by day, goes out at night; very skunk of it.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it leaves a full, lasting trail. Its sweet, oriental and woody build sits comfortably on men and women alike. These ratings rest on a small number of votes.
It opens with bergamot, saffron and pink pepper, while raspberry softens the spice with a little fruit. The heart pairs Bulgarian rose and jasmine with gurjum balsam and American gaiac wood. In the base, civet, amber, vanilla, frankincense, cedarwood and oud give it an animal, powdery, woody warmth. Lattafa Amethyst and Serge Lutens Bois et musc share a close profile.
