What does Past & Present smell like?

It opens with Bulgarian rose, white ambergris and Turkish rose otto, while May rose absolute and Bulgarian rose absolute carry the floral heart. The base holds Cambodian oud, Indonesian sandalwood root and musk; the woody, creamy and slightly animal accords are softened by fruity and sweet tones.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, night out and evening lead the occasions. Lost Tribe Past & Present Vietnam and Anfas Salam have a close profile.
