Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings, leisure time and nights out lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes split evenly, so it sits comfortably between the two.
It opens with oud, vanilla and labdanum, a sweet and resinous start. The heart holds raspberry and frankincense, and the base settles on violet, chestnut and leather. The gourmand and woody sides leave a smoky, leathery dry-down. Pink Sugar Black Sugar and Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud have a close profile.
