Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer a little behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it favors neither.
It opens on blood orange. In the heart, saffron and rose add a spicy, floral tone. Leather and patchouli settle into a woody base. Its profile is close to Montale Aoud Moon and Parle Moi de Parfum Saffron Wood/91.
