What does cruising-area smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Autumn, winter and spring lead the season votes, while summer trails well behind. Evening, leisure and night out are the favoured occasions, and daytime is rarely picked. Its dark, heavy character reads comfortably on anyone.

It opens with clove, spices and smoky notes. Black pepper, vetiver, amyris and patchouli form a spicy, earthy heart. The base settles into cedarwood, gurjum balsam, gaiac wood and copaiba balsam, resinous and woody. Heeley Eau Sacrée and Mark Buxton Perfumes Free have a close profile.
