What does Agar Blend smell like?

It opens with cinnamon leaf, clove and black pepper, which give it a sharp, spicy start. Oud and gaiac wood form a smoky, woody heart, and ambreine, benzoin and amber sweeten the base into a creamy, resinous warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out the favoured occasions, while summer gets very few votes. It is unisex, though most voters read it as masculine. Quintessence and Palais Bourbon have a close profile.
