What does Alvise smell like?

It opens with cistus, cinnamon, bergamot and cardamom for a spicy warmth. The heart brings leather and whisky, adding a smoky, leathery edge. In the base, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla and vetiver dominate; vanilla and styrax settle the dry-down, balancing the sweetness with an earthy, resinous ground.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with night outs and evenings leading the occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with a classic streak. Amouage Interlude Man and Zousz Black Oud have a close profile.
