What does Island Lush smell like?

Most voters recommend it for autumn, then spring and winter; summer is far less favoured. Evenings and nights out lead, and it also suits leisure time. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean towards masculine for its character, though some read it as feminine.

It opens with ginger, nutmeg and pink pepper, brightened by bergamot. The heart of cedar, gaiac wood and geranium sets a woody ground. In the base, patchouli, oud, sandalwood and leather weigh most, with benzoin adding sweetness. Musicology Fly me to the Oud and Zimaya Oud Is Great have a close profile.
