What does Oriental Lumpur smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, black pepper and saffron, a warm, spiced start. In the heart, patchouli and sandalwood set the scent on a woody, earthy footing. The base brings benzoin, amber and Bourbon vanilla forward, and the perfume turns sweeter, settling into a gourmand, resinous and powdery finish.

Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Voters mostly read it as feminine, with a sizeable minority calling it masculine.
