What does Oriental Casbah smell like?

It opens with patchouli and marine notes, moves into cistus and eucalyptus at the heart, and settles on sandalwood. The resinous accord weighs most; the green and earthy sides stay present, and a smoky tone runs through to the end.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as somewhat masculine. Parfums Sven Pritzkoleit Nardus and Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême have a close profile.
