What does Les Compositions Parfumées - Oriental Zinc smell like?

It is rated strong in longevity and good in sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring gets a fair share too; evening and night out edge ahead, but daily and business wear also collect votes. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits right between the two. Rayhaan Crimson and Lattafa His Confession have a close profile.

It opens with bergamot, fig leaf and lavender, a cool, green start. Pink pepper, cardamom and cinnamon bring the spice in the heart. In the base, tonka bean and patchouli add sweetness and a creamy, powdery softness, while cypress and frankincense carry the woody side.
