What does Private Blend: Blue Yunnan smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. The profile can read as masculine or feminine alike, so it sits comfortably as a unisex fragrance.

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: oud and Mysore sandalwood lay a woody ground, while cumin and Sichuan pepper add spice. Blueberry and blackcurrant bring a fruity edge, and castoreum and beeswax give an animal, creamy warmth. Jasmine and the musks soften it. Fruity, spicy and woody accords lead, with leathery and resinous sides in the background. Ensar Oud Old City and Ensar Oud Private Blend: Tigerwood have a close profile.
