What does Idole de Lubin (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer trails far behind. Evening and night-out wear lead, with leisure use close behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean slightly masculine, though a sizeable share finds it feminine.

It opens with black caraway, saffron and rum absolute, brightened by bitter orange zest. In the heart, smoked ebony wood, frankincense and sugar cane bring a sweet, smoky warmth. The base settles into amber, red sandalwood and leather, with cistus rounding out the resinous feel.
