What does Usar (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Usar's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to fall and spring, then winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear while also working at the office. Votes on character put masculine slightly ahead with feminine close behind, so it sits comfortably on either side.

As a whole it moves from a citrus and green freshness into a sweet, spicy, earthy warmth. Java lime and ginger give it a lively edge, with clove adding spice. Vanilla and palm sugar keep the sweetness soft, while Indonesian oud, ambergris and benzoin bring a resinous, smoky depth.
