What does Empire des Sens smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. As a unisex scent it sits comfortably on either men or women. There is no season or occasion data, so nothing can be said about those.

The top opens with saffron, rose and orange blossom, where the floral side meets spice. In the heart, oud adds a woody, earthy, smoky feel, and the base settles into the resinous sweetness of frankincense and vanilla. The overall line is oriental, with an animal tone in the background. Roberto Cavalli Oud Edition and Mancera Sand Aoud have a close profile.
