What does El Secreto de la Alcazaba smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, and most voters say it stays on skin for a long time. The dense, sweet and smoky character suits cooler days better than hot ones. It is unisex and does not lean towards either side.

It opens with coffee, red ginger and saffron, a spicy, gourmand start. In the heart, tobacco, jasmine and carnation add a floral, lightly smoky touch. The base of amber, tonka bean and benzoin settles into a warm, resinous sweetness.
