It opens with cinnamon and saffron, while rose and violet add a soft floral note in the heart. As it dries, cashmeran, oud, woods, cistus and patchouli take over, leaving a woody, resinous and earthy base.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest it for nights out and evenings, with some votes for leisure and business. Zara Exclusive Oud and Lattafa Opulent Oud have a close profile.
