What does Rausch smell like?

It opens with red pepper and sandalwood; in the heart, vanilla, patchouli and cypriol pull the sweetness towards something earthy and faintly animalic. Amber and oud dominate the base, and the scent dries down warm, dense and resinous.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, while summer days and the office are less likely settings. Most voters read it as masculine, though it has a following among women too. Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
