What does Ephesus smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage is good too. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while spring and summer trail behind. Evening and night out lead the occasions, with leisure wear close behind. Votes on character split between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

Patchouli, labdanum and frankincense take the front, and oriental woods set that resinous, earthy base inside a woody frame. Orange brightens the sweetness slightly, while clove adds a spicy warmth.
