What does Filosofia smell like?

Black pepper and cardamom give the opening a spicy edge, while the heart of oud, cypriol and tobacco builds a smoky, resinous backdrop. In the base, chocolate, vanilla absolute and hazelnut take over and push the scent towards the gourmand side. The overall impression is sweet and powdery, with a slightly synthetic sheen.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and voters score it highly. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably on anyone. Kilian Midnight Espresso and Laboratorio Olfattivo Vanhera have a close profile.
