What does Othello smell like?

The citrus and fruit lead at first; in the heart, silver birch, patchouli, queen-of-the-night and Omani frankincense add a green, floral and resinous turn. In the base, oud, ivy and rose honey pull it towards woody, slightly oriental and smoky.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it leans towards leisure and business settings. Most voters find it masculine and classic. Agatho 195 a.C. and Parfums de Marly Shagya have a close profile.
