What does Mythical Gryphon smell like?

The top is cardamom, bergamot, pepper and saffron, so spice and citrus sit side by side. In the heart, cinnamon and rose come forward, while cedarwood and Akigalawood® anchor them in wood. The base of vetiver, patchouli, vanilla and amber sweetens the scent and closes it with a resinous warmth.

Voters find its longevity and sillage good and rate it well for the price, though the number of votes is small. With its spicy, sweet character it reads as masculine. Nez à Nez Rosier Ardent and Birkholz Amber Intense have a close profile.
