Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter not far behind. Evening and night out lead the occasions, though daily, business and leisure wear also get votes.
The notes read as one whole rather than in stages. The resinous sweetness of benzoin runs throughout, while leather and ebony add a dry, woody, leathery edge. Spicy and powdery accords round out the oriental character.
