What does Le Voyage Oriental smell like?

The citrus top notes give a fresh, slightly bitter start. In the heart, nutmeg, clove leaf and pink pepper add spice, while vanilla and Siberian deer musk sweeten and soften it. The base settles on Sumatran vetiver and Siam oud, woody with an animal edge.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the small number of votes means this is not definitive. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine and suits those who want a sweet, spicy oriental. Its profile is close to Arabian Oud Amiri and Ahmed Al Maghribi Amiri.
