What does Lumière du Désert smell like?

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, with longevity looking especially strong. The number of votes is small, so this is not yet a firm verdict. It is unisex and does not lean to one gender.

It opens with neroli, orange zest and frankincense in a fresh, resinous start. In the heart, myrrh, cocoa and patchouli pull it toward a gourmand, creamy feel. The base of leather, oud and cinnamon dries down woody and oriental. Rabanne Pure XS Night and Maison Alhambra Infini Elixir have a close profile.
