What does Anbar December Edition smell like?

It opens with lemon and bergamot for freshness, while labdanum and vanilla lay a sweet footing. In the heart, black pepper and red pepper add spice, blackcurrant, plum and raspberry bring a fruity sweetness, and rose adds a soft floral touch. In the base, myrrh, frankincense, benzoin, tonka bean and cinnamon dominate, and it dries down creamy, woody and amber-warm.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. Its dense, warm build sits closer to cooler weather. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, suiting those who like a full-bodied character.
