Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though few people have voted, so these ratings should be read with caution. With no gender lean, it suits men and women alike.
It opens with mango, grapefruit and yuzu, which bring a juicy citrus-fruit sweetness, softened by white ambergris and honeysuckle otto. The heart builds a floral and fruity body from rose, lychee, raspberry and jasmine sambac. The base lays down a woody, resinous floor of Indonesian sandalwood, orris root and several kinds of oud. Steve Martin Yamuna River and Mo61 Sweet Oud have a close profile.
