What does Desert smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it suits anyone who wants a full-bodied scent that leaves a trail. It reads fine on men and women alike, for those who enjoy dense sweetness.

It opens with cinnamon, raspberry and strawberry: dark fruit sweetness wrapped in spicy warmth. The heart brings cedarwood, caramel and blackberry, a woody base under a sugary body. The base holds leather, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli, drying down creamy, smoky and faintly leathery. Veneno Scarlet and Red Infusion share a close profile.
