Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out the leading occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine.
It opens with saffron, rose and elemi resin, a spicy floral start. The heart holds oud, frankincense and caraway. In the base, animalic notes, labdanum and leather dominate, and it settles as a sweet, smoky, leathery oriental.
