What does Édition Rare - Fidelis smell like?

It opens with a spicy mix of cardamom, cumin, saffron and Guatemala coffee. In the heart, raspberry and rose absolute add a fruity, floral sweetness. The base of patchouli, amber and oud leaves a woody, resinous, smoky warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening or night out; summer is rarely chosen. More voters call it masculine, but a fair share find it feminine, so it sits between the two.
