Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, so a few sprays carry well. It is described as a men's scent and has been discontinued. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative.
Tobacco leaf and honey form a sweet core, and apricot adds a fruity softness. Smoke and oud give the scent a smoky, resinous weight, while pine needle and musk keep a woody, creamy base underneath.
