What does Megalium smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, Laotian cinnamon and Ceylonese cinnamon leaf, which give it a bright, spicy start. In the heart, Indian white pepper absolute, Indonesian nutmeg and Bulgarian rose come forward; the base of Ethiopian myrrh, Somalian frankincense and styrax carries it into a woody, smoky, sweet resin.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Matière Première Encens Suave and Amouage Opus XIV - Royal Tobacco have a close profile.
