Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the rating deserves some caution. It is not tied to either gender.
It opens with frankincense, saffron and rose, a resinous and spicy start. At the heart, patchouli, cypriol and leather build an earthy, leathery body. In the base, sandalwood, amber and musk soften and sweeten the whole. Floral and fruity touches stay in the background. Ishtara Assyria and Khadlaj Oud Noir have a close profile.
