What does Shanaan smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and voters read it as masculine slightly more often than feminine, though a fair share find it feminine. Etro Messe de Minuit and Acqua di Parma Colonia Mirra have a close profile.

Lemon and petitgrain open it fresh and bright. In the heart, frankincense, patchouli and cedarwood make it woody, earthy and resinous, with spicy and sweet shades alongside. The base of musk, ambergris and labdanum leaves a sweet, warm and faintly smoky trail.
