What does E: Gourmande Oriental smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading, and few choose it for summer. More voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine.

Cinnamon, clove and labdanum give it a spicy, resinous warmth. Maple and rum deepen the sweetness, while peach softens it a little. The gourmand and oriental character dominates, with woody and smoky shades staying in the background. Evody Noir d'Orient and Serge Lutens Écrin de fumée have a close profile.
