What does Cri du Kalahari smell like?

The sharpness of green pepper is softened by iris, while cedarwood and baobab in the heart lay down a woody floor. Sandalwood and patchouli carry that floor into a creamy, smoky finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even, so it sits evenly between the two. Its note and accord profile is close to Niviru For a Night Gala and Damien Bàsh Omen.
