What does Benjoin Bohème smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and few choose summer. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, then for leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and masculine and feminine draw about the same share of votes.

As a whole it reads sweet, spicy and oriental: benzoin and Peru balsam give a creamy, powdery softness, spices add warmth, and cistus and patchouli bring a resinous, woody depth.
