What does Habitude de l'Est smell like?

It opens with saffron and elemi resin, spicy and resinous. The heart of tobacco, sandalwood and patchouli sets a woody, earthy ground, and the base of gurjum balsam, ambergris and vanilla sweetens and softens it. The oriental character leads, with a faint animal trace behind it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Alexandre.J Oscent White and J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Rausch have a close profile.
