What does Langston smell like?

It opens with chocolate, candied apple and Ceylonese cinnamon, while citrus and fruity accords keep the sweetness from turning heavy. In the heart, orris root, night-blooming jasmine, cistus absolute and orange brandy add a powdery, floral depth. It dries down to sandalwood, vanilla, musk and tonka bean, creamy and woody.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Its sweet, spicy build suits cooler weather. It reads comfortably on anyone, whether masculine or feminine. Profumum Roma Dolce Artica and Kayali Chocolate Oud | 11 have a close profile.
