What does Sunset in Assam smell like?

The notes read as one whole: Indian cocoa absolute, Assam oud and resins together give a dark, sweetish impression of smoke. Cedarwood adds a dry woodiness, beeswax softens it, and Kashmiri musk brings a warm, animalic depth.

Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It suits men and women who like a bold, dense scent. Areej Le Doré Russian Oud II and Katana Oud Chaotique have a close profile.
