Oakmoss and leather lay a dry, firm base, while tuberose and osmanthus soften it with a floral touch. Labdanum, elemi resin and myrrh add a resinous, spicy warmth, and musk smooths everything together.
Most voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Fall and spring lead, with winter not far behind, and it is mostly suggested for evenings and leisure time. Voters mostly see it as masculine. Marina Barcenilla Black Osmanthus and Amouage Myths Man have a close profile.
