What does Octavian smell like?

It opens with saffron and pink pepper, and its heart is led by Persian frankincense, Bulgarian rose and Taif rose. The base of amber, leather and Persian oud sets the floral side on a resinous, smoky ground with an animal warmth.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is worn mostly for evenings, leisure and nights out. More voters call it masculine or classic than feminine. Dorin Un Air d'Arabie Rose of Taif and Electimuss Vici Leather have a close profile.
