What does Arsenic Osman smell like?

It opens with plum and Ceylonese cinnamon, fruity and spiced. In the heart, French violet, jasmine sambac and Indian osmanthus bring a floral, powdery side. Bourbon vanilla, white leather and Indonesian patchouli sweeten the base and close it with a woody, resinous warmth. The overall impression sits between fresh and oriental, with a faint synthetic sheen.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on both men and women. Serge Lutens Féminité du bois and Pomellato Nudo Amber have a close profile.
