Coriander and cardamom come first, spicy and dry, with ambergris softening the ground beneath them. In the heart, orange blossom absolute tempers the sweetness, and the base is dominated by amber, leathery and woody notes. The overall feel is oriental: powdery, resinous, lightly smoky and leathery.
Most voters recommend fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lean strongest. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it reads truly unisex. It has been discontinued.
