What does Oboro / オボロ smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without leaving a heavy trail. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. With no gender lean, it sits comfortably on both men and women.

It opens with fresh bergamot warmed by black pepper and ginger. In the heart, violet leaf absolute, peony and mineral notes add a floral but cool character. As it settles, vetiver, incense, salt and amber take over, leaving a smoky, lightly sweet and woody finish.
