What does Burvuvu smell like?

Amber and honey bring warmth, while mushrooms and castoreum add an earthy, animal edge. The cedars give a woody frame alongside patchouli and henna; rose, geranium and basil add a floral-green side, and ginger lightens the spice a little.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, then winter and spring, and few choose summer. It leans towards leisure and evening wear and reads slightly more masculine. Strangers Parfumerie Gheorghe and Nicolaï Incense Oud have a close profile.
