OrientalWhat does Red Sea smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer the least chosen season. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it doesn't commit to a masculine or feminine reading, as votes split almost evenly.
Orange blossom and floral notes lead, and in the heart iris and rose meet the spices. Clove and cinnamon add a warm edge to the sweetness. In the base, musk, sandalwood and woods dry the scent down into a powdery, woody finish. Rancé 1795 Hélène and Chloé Narcisse have a close profile.
