What does Bois Dahman smell like?

The notes read as one whole: sandalwood and amber lay a woody base, Bourbon vanilla sweetens it, and saffron adds spice. Frankincense and birch bark bring a resinous, slightly leathery edge, while the powdery side softens the sharper turns.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick it most for leisure and evening wear, and it also goes out at night. Votes for masculine and feminine character are close, so it sits between the two. Jo Malone Saffron and Dorin Bureau du Roi have a close profile.
