What does Botafumeiro smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen. Evening, leisure and night out are the leading occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it reads as wearable by anyone.

It opens with Indonesian nutmeg, Italian bergamot and pink pepper, which give a bright, spicy start. In the heart, freesia and lily of the valley soften the floral side, while Spanish cistus and Indonesian patchouli add a woody, resinous depth. Honduras styrax, musk and Mystikal® settle the base into a sweet, smoky, oriental finish.
