What does Équivoque smell like?

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, so it stays on the skin for a long time and also makes itself felt around the wearer. The longevity ratings come from a small number of votes, so read that one with some caution.

It opens with Guatemala cardamom giving a spicy start. In the heart, Virginia cedar, Atlas cedar and gaiac wood build a woody body, and Assam oud and Malayan oud take over in the base. The accords also bring oriental, resinous, earthy, powdery and leathery sides. Amouage Opus XIII - Silver Oud and Guerlain Oud Essentiel have a close profile.
