What does Thé Darbouka smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. It leans masculine for more voters, though a feminine reading is strong too.

Cocoa and candied fruits set the sweetness, while bergamot lifts it slightly. Immortelle, oud and styrax add a woody, resinous depth, and caraway leaves a spicy trace. Powdery and synthetic tones also run through the overall impression.
