What does Shambho smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters score the longevity high. It reads as serious and grounded, and it suits men and women alike.

The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: Jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose absolute and pink lotus absolute build the floral side. Papua, Thai, Cambodian and Borneo oud join oakmoss, patchouli and fir balsam for a woody, earthy depth. Juniper berry, Peru balsam and white ambergris round out the dense weave with spicy and resinous tones.
