What does Alchermes smell like?

The top notes bring peach, orange, pink grapefruit and bergamot into a bright fruit-and-citrus mix, with cinnamon and saffron adding spice. In the heart, hay, lavender, red leather and patchouli come forward while iris adds a soft, powdery touch. The base gathers vetiver, amber, labdanum and sandalwood into a resinous, woody foundation.

Its longevity is rated good, though this rests on only a few votes. The profile is balanced enough to sit comfortably on either men or women. Omanluxury Overdose and Creed Royal Princess Oud have a close profile.
