What does Tempest (Perfume Extract) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, lemon and orange in a fresh citrus layer, with lavender and ginger adding spice. The heart of rose, jasmine, cedar and gurjum balsam moves it into floral and woody territory. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, oud and amber leaves a sweet, animalic, smoky finish.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes tilt slightly masculine, though many call it feminine. Fragrance Du Bois Oud Noir Intense and Maison Incens Ambre Ayanna have a close profile.
