What does Ruby Flame smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so that view is tentative. With its floral, fruity and oriental build, it feels fuller than a typical men's scent and reads as a statement evening fragrance.

It opens with cocoa shell, pink pepper and coriander seed, spicy with a light gourmand touch. Jasmine and Turkish rose add a soft floral heart, and patchouli settles into an earthy, woody, resinous base. Powdery and creamy tones keep the sweetness in check. The Dua Brand Fiery Ruby and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
