Babylon

The opening is fresh with maté and bergamot, then fig, blueberry and strawberry take over the heart, giving it a floral, fruity, sweet character. The base of cedarwood, gaiac wood, patchouli and leather settles that sweetness onto a dry, woody footing, with spicy, creamy and leathery accords adding depth. A synthetic edge runs through it.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is still small. It suits men and women alike, and the leather and wood make it feel heavier than a plain fruity scent. Maison Crivelli Tubéreuse Astrale and Les Bains Guerbois 1992 Purple Night have a close profile.
