What does Mahogany Kora smell like?

The top holds Atlas cedar, papyrus and Guinea-Bissau hibiscus. In the heart, orange blossom, African mahogany and calabash nutmeg add a spicy warmth. The base of patchouli, rum, vanilla absolute and cashew nut sweetens it, though the woody, earthy character stays in front.

Longevity is rated good, and most voters call it strong, though the number of votes is small. The mix of sweet spice and wood reads equally well on men and women. Korres Tonka Brown - Magic Happens and Weltenduft Patchouly 666 have a close profile.
