What does Bois Talisman smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads somewhere in between.

Vanilla and sugar give a gourmand sweetness, while cedarwood holds it on a dry, woody base. Spicy and oriental accents add warmth, and a smoky edge keeps the sweetness from turning confectionary. Lattafa Raghba and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
