What does Emperor's Court smell like?

The heart holds ylang-ylang, Egyptian jasmine, Turkish rose and Indian spices, with the flowers resting on a sweet, creamy footing. In the base, Assam oud, labdanum, frankincense, vanilla and ambergris lead, and the scent settles into something woody, resinous and faintly smoky.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night out and evening the main occasions. More voters call it masculine, but a good share see it as feminine. Rogue Derviche and Xerjoff Alexandria III have a close profile.
