It lasts well and projects moderately. Voters lean towards autumn, then spring and winter, and it suits leisure time and evenings. Most voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex.
The top mixes carnation, vervain and grapefruit into a green, floral opening. In the heart, vetiver is joined by red pepper and clove for a spicy edge. The base of cedar, sandalwood, whisky and amber turns smoky, resinous and creamy. Alghabra Kaliningrad Mystery and Strangers Parfumerie Gheorghe have a close profile.
