What does Socotra smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of voters is small, so read this as a rough guide. The woody, resinous build sits closer to cooler seasons, and it reads equally well on men and women.

Spicy cinnamon, saffron and chili seed lead the scent, while frankincense, labdanum and Malayan oud form a resinous, woody base. Greek and Bulgarian tobacco absolutes and civet add a leathery, animal warmth. Sultan Pasha Attars Cheval d'Arabie and Papillon Artisan Perfumes Anubis have a close profile.
