Most voters pick fall and winter, and night-out and evening wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters find it masculine, though a fair number call it classic.
The notes read as one whole: honey and vanilla bring a gourmand sweetness, cinnamon and star anise carry the spice, and patchouli sets a woody, resinous base. Bergamot lightly brightens this dense blend. A creamy, oriental character dominates.
