Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out the leading occasions. It reads masculine and modern.
It opens with mandarin orange, bitter orange and bergamot sharpened by pink pepper. In the heart, coffee, cedarwood and orange blossom bring the woody side forward. The base of tonka bean, Bourbon vanilla and Haitian vetiver balances sweetness with smoke. Creed Aventus and Nishane Hacivat X have a close profile.
