What does Attar L'Heure Exquise smell like?

Longevity is rated good, with most voters giving it a high score, while sillage stays moderate. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The unisex profile suits men and women equally.

The top is bright and spiced: neroli, cardamom and bergamot. In the heart, clove, jasmine sambac, champaca, camphor and cocoa add a warm floral and spicy layer, and the woody and oriental accords take over. The base of Vietnamese and Indonesian oud, tolu balm, styrax and ambergris leaves a resinous, smoky trail.
