What does Arabian Nights smell like?

It opens with cardamom, caraway and petitgrain, then moves into fougère notes, patchouli and bitter orange. The base holds vetiver, cedar, musk and oakmoss. A fruity, sweet side is balanced by spicy, oriental and resinous accords, with animal and synthetic tones staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out; half see it as masculine, and many call it classic. Ted Lapidus Lapidus pour Homme and Azzaro pour Homme Night Time have a close profile.
