What does Parfum Captive #2 smell like?

The character is spicy and woody. Cistus and santamanol add a resinous, smoky depth, while the peppers bring a dry, sharp warmth. Fruity and sweet accents soften that edge and add an oriental, slightly synthetic feel.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, which fits its unisex profile. Parfum Captive #1 and Parfum Captive #3 have a close profile.
