What does Mr. Merauke Il Selvaggio smell like?

Oud and sandalwood form the backbone, while Sumatran patchouli and frankincense push that woody base towards a smoky, resinous side. Deer musk, civet and ambergris add an animal warmth, and violet and boronia bring a soft floral touch that sweetens the rougher edges.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, so a light hand is enough. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are an indication rather than a verdict. It suits anyone who wants a dense, characterful scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Strangers Parfumerie Ember and Just Jack The Dark have a close profile.
