What does The Architect of Chaos smell like?
Mandarin orange and lychee join the top, so the first impression is fruity and spicy yet fresh. In the heart, saffron, magnolia and patchouli soften the floral side, while frankincense and the rain accord add a cool, earthy depth. The base of cedarwood, sandalwood and musk dries down sweet, creamy and woody.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on only a small number of votes. It reads open and lively on anyone, and it can move from day into evening. Anfas Salam and Sana Jardin Incense Water have a close profile.
