Skunky's take: Voters picked cool weather; in winter it is a warm hug.

It opens with white pepper and bergamot, and in the heart tonka bean and tobacco flower soften the scent. The base is led by vanilla, cocoa and patchouli, and as it dries the fragrance settles into a sweet, creamy, lightly smoky woodiness.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters split evenly between daytime and evening, and also pick it for leisure, nights out and business. Laboratorio Olfattivo Alambar and Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (Cologne Intense) have a close profile.
