What does Desert Nocturne smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score them high. Its dense, dark character suits those who prefer warm, heavy scents over cool ones, and it reads as fitting on both men and women.

It opens with orange and bergamot brightening saffron. In the heart, patchouli, frankincense, cedarwood and rose form an earthy, resinous core. The base of oud, amber, castoreum and vanilla carries it to a warm, smoky, slightly sweet finish.
