What does Song for a Rising Sun smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, lemon, Roman chamomile, pineapple leaf and grass, which give a green, citrusy freshness. The heart brings cardamom and cumin spice, while whisky and hashish add a sweet, animalic warmth. In the base, sandalwood, Atlas cedar, musk and amber settle it into a woody, powdery, resinous dry floor.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick it for leisure first, then for a night out and the evening, though daily and office wear also get votes. Gini Canto Libero and Alexandre.J Le Royal have a close profile.
