What does Desperado smell like?

It opens fresh and slightly green with cedar, bergamot, lemon and galbanum. In the heart, Cambodian oud, cocoa and patchouli bring an earthy weight, while orange blossom and Persian rose soften it with a floral sweetness. The base settles into a warm, resinous and woody finish of tolu balm, sandalwood and amber.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Its dark, woody, smoky build suits men and women alike. Gucci pour Homme and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.
