LeatheryWhat does So.36 smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It wears comfortably on anyone, with a dense, assertive character.
It opens with whisky, saffron, sage, cinnamon and honey, giving a spicy sweetness. Towards the heart, jasmine, osmanthus, rose, Peru balsam and nutmeg add a floral, resinous softness. The base of vanilla, amber notes, cedar and oud leaves a woody, animalic, leathery trail. Alexandria Fragrances Nefarious and Nishane Nefs have a close profile.
