What does Penumbra Fever smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. With no season or occasion information, all that can be said is that it reads as unisex.

It opens on oud, with raspberry, geranium and rose in the heart. The base holds frankincense, saffron and birch. The fruity-floral heart settles onto a woody ground shaped by the spicy, leathery base. Oros Pure Leather Gold and Avapari Oud Berry have a close profile.
