What does Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic smell like?
It opens with bergamot and pink pepper alongside ginger, while frankincense and elemi resin set a cool, resinous tone. The heart turns warm and sweet-spicy with cinnamon, clove and labdanum, and black cherry and cocoa leaf pull it toward the fruity. In the base, vetiver, patchouli, myrrh and amber leave an earthy, smoky trail.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and it is worn mainly for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine.
