What does Crime & Punishment: Kerosene smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top-to-base progression. East Indian, Sri Lankan, Cambodian and Borneo oud carry the character, while Afghan rose, jasmine and blue lotus build the floral side. Peach and raspberry add sweetness, and castoreum with Tibetan musk gives an animal warmth. Pepper and ginger bring spice, and Omani green frankincense adds a resinous depth.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It suits nights out and evenings best, and few see it as a business scent. Ensar Oud Crime & Punishment (Pure Parfum) and Ensar Oud CP Raspberry have a close profile.
