Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter; evenings and nights out lead, while summer and daytime wear sit well behind. It reads closer to masculine, though it stays unisex.
Saffron opens with a spicy note, and rose and Laotian oud take the heart. The base settles into amber, frankincense, myrrh and sandalwood. The overall feel is woody, earthy and smoky, with a leathery edge.
