What does Garuda smell like?

It opens with orange, bergamot and pink pepper alongside cumin, giving a spicy start. Oud, saffron and rum lead the heart. In the base, vanilla, amber, cedarwood and patchouli sweeten it into a warm, woody, powdery and resinous finish.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a good share of voters find it feminine. Spirit of Kings Loyalty and Sospiro Farsa have a close profile.
