What does Onction (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the ratings come from a small number of votes. At Extrait strength it stays on skin through the day and still projects to those nearby. It suits men and women alike, with a serious, grown-up profile.

It opens with cedarwood, myrrh and saffron, spice and resin showing at once. In the heart, red rose, opoponax and oud join, setting the floral side on a warm, dark ground. As it dries, Haitian vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood add an earthy, woody depth. Hind Al Oud Al Oud and Rasasi Junoon Leather for Women have a close profile.
