What does The Silk Road / 丝绸之路 smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base: spices and leather come forward, tobacco adds a smoky warmth, and vetiver sets an earthy, woody floor beneath them. The overall character is sweet and spicy, with an oriental, resinous side.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known up close without filling a room. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine, and will feel familiar to anyone who likes leather and smoke. Chopard Oud Malaki and Elyon Himeros have a close profile.
