What does North to Poltava smell like?

The top pairs saffron with raspberry, giving a spiced, fruity sweetness at the start. In the heart, rose and jasmine form a floral layer softened by powdery notes. The base of oud, patchouli, amber, rum and vanilla leaves a warm, woody, resinous and sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though only a few people have voted. Its dense, sweet build sits closer to cooler seasons, and as a unisex scent it suits men and women alike. Ted Lapidus Oud Blanc and Alexandre.J Rose Oud have a close profile.
