The top opens with saffron, violet, bergamot and cypress. The heart carries Tolu balm, rose, labdanum, pink pepper and nutmeg. In the base, nagarmotha, Peru balsam, frangipani and oud settle the scent onto a woody, oriental footing.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It reads unisex. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Oud Saffron and Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante have a close profile.
