LeatheryWhat does Witness (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with orange and lemon alongside mugwort, then moves into a heart of geranium, rose and cinnamon. The base is led by benzoin, styrax, patchouli and sandalwood, while the animal and leathery accords give it a rough, oriental edge.
Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening or night-out wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it suits cooler weather and after-dark occasions. Al Haramain Oudi and Memo Paris Oriental Leather have a close profile.
