What does Warek smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

It opens with saffron and frankincense, then moves into a woody, resinous heart of patchouli, gaiac wood, rose and amber. The base holds oud, vanilla and leather; the vanilla softens the edges while the earthy, smoky side stays present. Montale Leather Patchouli and Le Labo Oud 27 (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
