What does African Rooibos Intens smell like?

It opens with black pepper, cardamom and bergamot, fresh and spicy. In the heart, orris butter, Bourbon vanilla absolute and rooibos tea turn it creamy and sweet. The base of ambroxan, tonka bean, immortelle absolute and cedarwood leaves a woody, slightly smoky footing.

Voters rate its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits anyone wanting a unisex fragrance, and its sweet, spicy character sits well in cooler weather. Chris Collins African Rooibos and Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
