What does Midnight Desert smell like?

The top is ginger, bergamot and apple, so it opens citrusy, green and fruity. The heart of clary sage, geranium and juniper berry adds a floral, aquatic middle layer. The base of vetiver, frankincense, amberwood, cedarwood and tonka bean leaves a woody foundation with a light sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. It reads as a masculine fragrance. La Rive Move On for Men and Yves Saint Laurent Y (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
