Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling the room.
It opens with ginger and elemi resin, which give a spicy, green freshness. Papyrus and frankincense in the heart make it drier and earthier. Sandalwood and white musk sit at the base and soften it.
