What does Famagusta smell like?

It opens with sweet acacia. The heart holds tonka bean, oakmoss and vetiver, where the sweetness rests on a green, earthy base. In the base, patchouli, musk and cedarwood dry it down into a woody, spicy finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Feminine votes edge out masculine ones, though both are sizeable, so it sits between the two. Its profile is close to Sisley Soir de Lune and Balenciaga Balenciaga.
