What does C: Woody Leather smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer gets very few votes. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and far less for the office or daily wear. Nearly half of voters call it masculine, and most of the rest find it classic.

It opens with mandarin orange, which adds a fruity brightness, and saffron in the heart brings a warm, sweet spiciness. The base is dominated by leather, tobacco and oud, with resinous, woody and smoky accords giving it an oriental feel throughout. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud and Swiss Arabian Nawaf have a close profile.
