What does Old Fashioned smell like?

The top holds frankincense, cherry and fruity notes. In the heart, clove, ginger, rum and cedarwood come forward, laying spice and wood over the sweetness. The base of vanilla, patchouli, vetiver and leather dries down into a creamy, resinous, slightly smoky sweetness.

Sillage is moderate and longevity is good. Voters rate the longevity highly, though the number of votes is small. With its spicy, oriental build and sweetness, it sits between masculine and feminine and reads as a unisex scent.
