What does Defne smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are tentative. With no season or occasion votes, it is hard to say where it fits best, but its unisex build lets it read on both men and women.

It opens with saffron and red fruits; the heart holds Damask rose, Jasminum auriculatum, iris and birch. The base carries amberwood, oud, vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean and musk. The fruity, spicy opening dries down into a leathery, smoky woodiness.
