What does Capua smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, cypress, Sicilian bergamot and Madagascan tagetes, then moves to Egyptian cumin, cedar and nagarmotha in the heart. Java vetiver, cedar, cashmere wood and amber form the base. The overall impression is dry, spicy and woody, with an earthy weight underneath.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It reads masculine to most, though as a unisex scent it can be worn by anyone. Etro Patchouly (Eau de Toilette) and Lattafa Pride Hala have a close note and accord profile.
