What does Series 3: Incense - Ouarzazate smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, then winter and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. It leans masculine in the votes, though feminine votes are not far behind, which fits its unisex profile.

The scent reads woody and smoky with a resinous core, while fresh and green accords keep it from feeling heavy. Nutmeg and pepper add a spicy edge, clary sage brings a green lift, and vanilla and musk soften the overall impression.
