What does Dendera smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading and leisure wear close behind. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

Cinnamon and nutmeg give it a warm spice, while Vietnamese oud, labdanum, frankincense and myrrh set it on a smoky, leathery, earthy base. Haitian vetiver and Indian sandalwood add woodiness; Bourbon vanilla absolute, rose absolute and white ambergris soften the edges. Norma Kamali Incense and Giorgio Armani Armani Privé - Oud Royal have a close profile.
