What does Lú - Numen smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer close behind; it leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also suits evenings and nights out.

It opens fresh and spicy with bergamot, mandarin orange and black pepper. The heart is led by patchouli, vetiver, frankincense and jasmine, with cannabis adding to the green, earthy tone. The base of white musk, tonka bean and amber sweetens it and softens it into a creamy warmth. Technique Indiscrète Forever Amber and Harry Lehmann Oud have a close profile.
