What does Melange smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. The sample is small, but most voters find it long-lasting. Its warm, dense build keeps it gender-neutral, reading comfortably on both women and men.

It opens with saffron, aniseed and cardamom for a spicy start. Taif rose, musk and boronia then add a soft floral heart. In the dry-down, oud, vanilla, ambergris, myrrh and musk take over, settling into a woody, resinous and slightly smoky warmth. Gritti Florian and Ajmal Mukhallat Al Shams have a close profile.
