What does Ragù smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes third and summer trails well behind. Evening and night out lead the occasions; voters see it as somewhat more masculine than feminine, though many call it feminine too.

It opens with orange, bergamot and pink pepper for a bright start. The heart is built from clove, saffron, cardamom, black pepper and nutmeg, with elemi resin adding a resinous softness to the spice. In the base, cypriol, cedarwood, leather and patchouli leave an earthy, smoky warmth. Amouage Epic Man and Lattafa Maahir Black Edition have a close profile.
