What does Under Which Rivers Flow smell like?

It opens bright and floral-fruity, with orange blossom, neroli and Sicilian bergamot, sweetened by apricot and red apple. In the heart, rose, jasmine sambac and labdanum come forward, while sandalwood and benzoin add a resinous warmth. The base dries down into vanilla, oud, patchouli and musk, with an animal, powdery and spicy character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a few people have voted, so those figures deserve some caution. Dense, sweet and animal, it can be worn by men and women alike. Senyokô La Tsarine and Roja Parfums Kuwait have a close profile.
