What does Agar Wood smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, with leisure and business wear also suggested. Voters call it masculine and classic.

It opens with ginger, Nepalese sichuan pepper, salt and Italian bergamot, sharp yet fresh. In the heart, blue cypress, violet leaf, saffron blossom and black iris add a powdery, earthy tone. The base of oud, tobacco, suede and mastic absolute settles into a leathery, resinous, smoky warmth. Sticky Fingers and Golden Boy have a close profile.
