Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, then winter; evenings and nights out lead, though it also works for leisure time. It reads as masculine and modern.
It opens with bergamot, cardamom and black pepper in a spicy start. The heart brings cinnamon, saffron, nutmeg and caviar. In the base, labdanum, benzoin, tobacco, cashmeran and vanilla sweeten it and settle into a woody, resinous warmth.
