What does Bukhara smell like?

It opens with bergamot, coriander, caraway and pear, a fresh, spicy start with a touch of fruit. In the heart, clove, jasmine, iris and apricot bring a powdery softness to the floral side. The base of musk, amber, benzoin and saffron leaves a woody, earthy warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure and daily wear lead, with business and evening also getting votes. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, so it leans comfortably either way.
