Pink pepper, cumin, cardamom and date open on a spicy, slightly sweet note. In the heart, oud, leather, frankincense and saffron lead, while neroli, rose and iris soften things from behind. The base of myrrh, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean builds a woody, earthy and animalic floor.
Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share see it as feminine. Amouage Epic Man and Dior Leather Oud have a close profile.
