What does L'Oriental smell like?

It opens bright and fruity with bergamot, orange blossom and apple. In the heart, cinnamon, nutmeg, sage and lavender build a spicy warmth. In the base, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it, while ambergris and musk hold it on a soft, powdery ground.

Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine.
