What does Tigerlust (Pure Parfum) smell like?

The notes read as one whole: Indonesian, Sri Lankan and Chinese oud join Timor sandalwood to form a woody, resinous core. Civet and castoreum add an animal, leathery edge, while tobacco and the smoky accord thicken it. Sichuan pepper brings spice, and osmanthus and frangipani soften the whole with a floral touch.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, so it stays on skin for a long time and carries well around the wearer. Its oriental character dominates, and it is made for both men and women. Ensar Oud Tigerlust 1990 and Guerlain Cuir Intense have a close profile.
