Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is favoured for evenings and nights out; most who weigh in find it masculine.

It opens with frankincense, davana, Italian mandarin orange and saffron for a bright, spiced start. In the heart, gaiac wood, leather, oud and castoreum build a smoky, animal texture, softened by jasmine absolute. The base of sandalwood, vanilla and white musk sweetens and rounds it. Kajal Warek and LM Parfums Hard Leather have a close profile.
