Skunky's take: Opens sweet, so if sugar is not your thing, think twice.

What does Alkemi smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it reads as truly in between.

It opens with ylang-ylang and amber. In the heart, Indonesian patchouli, Atlas cedar, Somalian frankincense and myrrh form a woody, resinous core. The base of amber, sandalwood, cashmere wood and vanilla softens it into a warm, gourmand sweetness. Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac and Franck Boclet Amber have a close profile.
