What does Great Way smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of ratings is small, so treat these as a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, and as a unisex scent it suits men and women alike.

It opens with ginger, Sichuan pepper, saffron and cardamom, lively and spicy. The heart brings ambergris, magnolia, date and cannabis, with a floral, fruity sweetness coming forward. In the base, sandalwood, oud and ambroxan leave a warm, slightly synthetic finish. Ajmal Hatkora Wood and Al Haramain Excellent Men have a close profile.
