What does Sarmate smell like?

The top opens with davana, nutmeg and angelica, giving a spicy start. In the heart, saffron, styrax and myrrh add a resinous, earthy warmth, while Atlas cedar, oud and leather ground it in a smoky, woody base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night-out and evening wear lead the occasions. It reads mostly masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine. Guerlain Oud Essentiel and Armani Privé Oud Royal have a close profile.
