What does Slow World smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Votes are split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably in between.

It opens with Pu-erh tea, then moves into saffron, dragon's blood and malt at the heart. Sandalwood, frankincense and vanilla settle at the base, giving a creamy, resinous, slightly smoky warmth. Sweetness stays in front throughout, balanced by spice and wood. Olibanum. Safran and Initio Side Effect have a close profile.
