What does Nemea smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, as votes fall close on both sides.

It opens with ginger, davana, rum and clary sage, spicy and lightly sweet. In the heart, black tea, frankincense, oud, saffron and cistus add a resinous, smoky character. In the base, caramel, cocoa, oakmoss and castoreum tie the sweetness to an earthy warmth. Olfactive Studio Woody Mood and Histoires de Parfums Encens Roi have a close profile.
