What does Kinam Rouge (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring close behind. Leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. Voters read it mostly as masculine and classic, though a fair share call it feminine.

It opens with grapefruit, red mandarin orange and Virginia cedar. In the heart, jasmine, rose, henna, saffron and carnation build a floral, spicy body. The base of oud, myrrh, patchouli, black ambergris and Bourbon vanilla adds a smoky, resinous, leathery and animalic warmth. Ensar Oud Kinam Rouge: Saigon and Ensar Oud Kinam Rouge Ghalia have a close profile.
