What does The Red Room smell like?

Virginia cedar opens dry and woody, and blackcurrant adds a fruity weight in the heart. The base is led by leather, copaiba balsam and frankincense, leaving a resinous, spicy, slightly animal and leathery trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Tauerville Incense Flash and Amouage Opus XV - King Blue have a close profile.
