What does Embrace smell like?

In Embrace, cardamom and pink pepper draw a spicy outline, while berries add a fruity sweetness. Coffee and labdanum turn this into a gourmand, resinous warmth, and patchouli, gaiac wood and musk lay an earthy, woody, smoky base. The whole reads sweet but not flat.

Most voters pick spring, fall and winter, with summer well behind. Leisure is the most chosen occasion, with daily, business and evening wear close together. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Those who like patchouli and spice may also look at Perris Monte Carlo Patchouli Nosy Be and Xerjoff Red Hoba, which have a close profile.
