What does Pompeii smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage good, though few people have voted so far, so these ratings are tentative. It does not lean toward either gender and sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with clove and wine. In the heart, tuberose absolute, volcanic ash and white blossoms come together, with the floral side resting on an earthy, smoky ground. The base of musk, amber and vanilla softens everything into a powdery, resinous warmth.
