What does Never Look Back smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but not heavy trail through the day. The number of voters is small, so these ratings give only a rough idea.

The top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and grass open bright, with pink pepper adding a touch of spice. The heart brings together osmanthus, cedar and Bulgarian rose. In the base, oud, sandalwood and tobacco give a woody depth, softened by amber and vanilla.
