It opens with elemi resin, mandarin orange and black pepper; the heart brings Cuban tobacco, lavender and rose. Patchouli, amber and leather settle underneath. The sweetness is balanced by an earthy, smoky texture.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. Most see it as masculine and classic. Davidoff Leather Blend and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
