What does Nostalgia smell like?
The notes read as one whole: saffron and aniseed give a spicy warmth, while leather and suede lay a leathery base beneath them. May rose adds a fresh floral side and nagarmotha brings an earthy, green tone; tonka bean sweetens and softens the picture a little. Among the accords, woody, resinous and oriental tones come forward, with fruity and synthetic touches staying in the background. Voters rate it 8.3 out of 10. Michele Bianchi Oud 2.0 and Kanchaveli White have a close profile.
