Longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Voters place it mostly in winter and fall, a little less in spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also draws votes for daytime and office wear.
It opens with Italian bergamot and clary sage meeting black pepper and frankincense, spicy and smoky from the start. Cistus and musk soften the heart, and patchouli, vetiver and crystal amber leave a dry, earthy woodiness underneath. Green and powdery shades stay in the background.
