What does Caelum smell like?

It suits those who want a strong fragrance: voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, with longevity scoring 7.9 out of 10. There are no season or occasion votes to go on, so nothing can be said there; it sits evenly between masculine and feminine.

The top pairs mandarin orange and peach with chocolate, rum and cinnamon, a fruity, spicy sweetness. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and caramel turn the floral side creamy. The base of oud, sandalwood, vanilla, amber and oakmoss lays down a woody, oriental, slightly animalic floor.
