What does Iris Noir: Maroke smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole from start to finish. The floral side comes through with jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom, while thyme and rosemary add a green, spicy edge. Sandalwood and oud settle it onto a creamy, powdery, resinous ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, with nearly all voters giving longevity a high mark. Its oriental, earthy character suits men and women alike. Ensar Oud Pink Papua: Jayapula and Ensar Oud White Nights: Shuyukhi have a close profile.
