What does Homeros SQ smell like?

It opens with neroli, blue cypress and hinoki cypress in a cool, green frame, while civet adds an animal weight from the first moment. In the heart, Georgian rose, jasmine, osmanthus and orange blossom draw a floral curtain, softened by musk and Mysore sandalwood. The base brings Borneo, Papua and Cambodian oud together with tolu balm, tobacco, cocoa and vanilla, ending smoky, leathery and spicy.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters place it on nights out and evenings, though a fair number also choose it for leisure. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and it is a dense scent. Ensar Oud Homeros: Oud Royale and Nimerè Shades of Darkness have a close profile.
