What does Sultry Woods smell like?

The top is lavender, clary sage and bergamot, a green and fresh opening. In the heart, saffron, cedarwood and praliné come forward: the spice is softened by wood, and the praliné adds a light sweetness. The base of musk, leather and patchouli settles into an earthy, leathery finish.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though that rests on only a small number of votes. With its dry, woody build it reads as a masculine scent. Its value for money is also rated well. Parfums de Marly Haltane and French Avenue Haydan have a close profile.
