What does Fables d'Orient smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters score the staying power high, while opinions on projection are more scattered. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women.

The scent as a whole is built around amber, frankincense and myrrh, which form a resinous, smoky base. Heliotrope and iris pallida add a floral, powdery softness, nutmeg brings a light spice, and musk ties it together with a creamy warmth. Zara FRGRNC/01 and Ella K Parfums Baiser de Florence have a close profile.
