What does Yunnan 2003 (Pure Parfum) smell like?

Citrus and spice lead the top, with red mandarin orange adding a sweet brightness. In the heart, jasmine tea, blue lotus and Chinese white tea turn it floral and soft. The base of oud, Tibetan musk, ambergris and beeswax leaves an animal, creamy and resinous warmth, and the oriental, woody side gradually takes over.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage moderate. It reads unisex, suiting both men and women. It has been discontinued. Perfumes with a close profile include Ensar Oud Hainan 2005 (Pure Parfum) and Ensar Oud Chinese Exclusive.
