What does Désert (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The citrus top notes give it a bright, fresh start. In the heart, saffron, spicy notes and woody notes come forward. The base holds tobacco, oud, beeswax and tonka bean, leaving a sweet, creamy and slightly smoky trail, with an oriental streak among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, while summer is the least chosen season. It suits everything from daily wear to evenings out. Its profile is close to Just Jack Tobacco Leaf and Junaid Perfumes Tiyoob.
