What does Eau Saharienne smell like?

It opens with maté, hyssop and black pepper, then moves into a woody, resinous heart of frankincense, myrtle, cedarwood and sandalwood. The base of myrrh, benzoin, labdanum and amber settles it into a warm, slightly leathery and animalic tone.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and leisure and evening wear lead. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it suits both. Rania J. T. Habanero and Sospiro Misterioso have a close profile.
