What does The Maj smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure hours, and masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits comfortably between the two.

Mysore sandalwood and vetiver form the woody frame, while mitti attar adds an earthy, green note. Kewda and cadam attar bring a floral, sweet, creamy softness, with spicy and resinous tones staying in the background.
