What does The Abandoned Mansion smell like?

The notes read as a single whole: quince brings a fruity sweetness while pimento adds spicy warmth. Cedar and oakmoss absolute build a woody, earthy ground, and aged paper gives the scent a faintly dusty, smoky air. Petitgrain and ambreine soften the mix.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Most pick fall, then winter, and it is chosen most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. It leans slightly masculine in character, though feminine votes are not far behind. OM Parfum Oud Attar II and Sonoma Scent Studio Incense Pure have a close profile.
