What does Ilyan smell like?

It opens with raisin and caramel, fruity and gourmand in feel. In the heart, jasmine and Bulgarian rose add a soft floral layer. The base of amber, oud, Bourbon vanilla absolute, Indian sandalwood and white musk dries down woody, spicy and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, so it stays on skin and is noticed around you, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, sweet, oriental build suits cooler weather best. Clive Christian XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber and Swiss Arabian Private Oud have a close profile.
