What does This is not Adrenaline / Adrenaline smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a few votes back this up, so the figures are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike.

It opens with amber, sandalwood, frankincense and pine. Rose, carnation and oud form the heart, and cashmere with saffron leaves a sweet, spicy warmth at the base. Thomas Kosmala Nọ 12 - Oud Douze and Ishtara Assyria have a close profile.
