What does Series 2: Red - Palisander smell like?

The scent is built from saffron, red chili, red cedar, Brazilian rosewood and myrrh. The notes read as one whole rather than in layers: spice and resin lay a warm sweetness over the wood, with a powdery, earthy undertone and a faintly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear. Masculine and feminine votes are close, with masculine slightly ahead. Mythical Woods and Myrrhe Impériale have a close profile.
