What does Drift smell like?

It opens with pepper, saffron and honey for a sweet warmth, with blackcurrant adding a faint fruity edge. In the heart, myrrh, frankincense and patchouli bring a resinous, smoky feel, while Taif rose and lily of the valley soften the weight. The base gathers oud, vanilla, amber and musk into a creamy, oriental warmth. The overall impression is sweet and woody, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Amouage Outlands and Zimaya Wujood have a close profile.
