It opens with coriander seed, frankincense and Calabrian bergamot. In the heart, nutmeg, cashmere wood and Virginia cedar build a woody body. Musk, patchouli and amber in the base soften the sweetness, while the synthetic accord adds a slightly sharp edge.
Voters find its longevity good and its sillage moderate. Most pick fall and spring, then winter, while summer lags far behind. Evening, daily wear and business settings get similar support. Avon Black Suede Touch and Afnan Supremacy in Oud have a close profile.
