What does American Pharaoh smell like?

Floral, fruity and sweet accords lead, with spicy, woody, creamy and smoky tones alongside. The notes are Mexican vanilla, Virginia tobacco absolute, cherry wine absolute, Damask rose absolute and chili. Muskrat and Mongolian deer musk add an animal warmth, while ambergris and sandalwood pull it toward a creamy, resinous finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. The overall rating is moderate, and value for money is not scored highly. It is a dense, dark-leaning scent that can sit on men and women alike. Folkwinds American Pharaoh II and Folkwinds Roses are red, Cherries are… red. have a close profile.
