What does American Pharaoh II smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single piece. Vanilla and chocolate lay down a sweet ground, and cherry wine absolute adds a dark, fruity depth. Chili brings spice, while Damask rose absolute softens the sharper edges. Sandalwood and Virginia cedar absolutes give it a woody frame, and muskrat, black ambergris and Mongolian deer musk add an animal, earthy weight.

With its sweet fruit set against dark, smoky and animal tones, the profile sits close to other Folkwinds perfumes such as American Pharaoh and Rose Tint My World.
