What does Desert Nights to Remember smell like?
Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out; summer is the least favoured season. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters are split between feminine and masculine, so it genuinely reads as unisex.
It opens with saffron and thyme in a spicy start; towards the heart, jasmine, rose and cinnamon add a floral, warm streak. In the base, vanilla, benzoin and musk build a sweet, powdery and creamy ground, while vetiver, patchouli and gaiac wood give woody depth and castoreum a touch of animal warmth.
