What does Raris smell like?

It opens with oregano and liquorice, giving a spicy, lightly sugary start. In the heart, vanilla, patchouli and magnolia bring a gourmand, creamy, powdery sweetness. The base of ambergris, musk, cedarwood and sandalwood leaves a resinous, slightly smoky finish.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Us! and Kerosene Promises, Promises have a close profile.
