Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine.
The scent as a whole rests on a woody, resinous, earthy base. Oud, cedar and sandalwood build that woody frame, while amber and vanilla add sweetness and warmth. Bitter orange brings a fruity, citrus brightness, and lavender and iris soften the density.
