What does Emir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind and summer rarely chosen. It is placed mostly in the evening and for nights out, and it can also be worn for leisure and daily use. Most voters read its character as masculine, and some see it as classic.

Grapefruit and orange give a bright, fruity start. The heart holds geranium, white pepper and sage, with the pepper bringing the spice forward. In the base, musk, patchouli, cedar and oud build a woody, smoky and slightly animalic depth. Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif and Initio Oud for Greatness (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
