Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a handful of votes. Voters spread it almost evenly across daytime, business, leisure and evening, with night out not far behind, so it isn't tied to one setting.
It opens with jasmine and saffron, the saffron's spice meeting the sweetness. Amber sits in the heart and woods in the base, and the scent settles into something warm, woody and resinous.
