What does Whispering Fire smell like?

It opens with pepper, oud, myrrh and frankincense, which give a resinous, smoky first impression. In the heart, amber, nutmeg and clove add a warm, spicy layer. The base settles on cashmere wood, dry woods and moss for an earthy footing, while sugar softens the edges. A leathery tone runs through the accords, and a synthetic side may come through.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. The dense, warm build suits cooler weather more easily. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Jusbox Golden Serenade and Cerruti 1881 Signature have a close profile.
