What does Kismet Magic smell like?

It opens with cognac, then moves into cinnamon, tonka bean and oak in the heart. Vanilla, praliné and sandalwood in the base soften it, leaving a sugary, spiced and woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is favoured for evenings and nights out. It leans somewhat masculine, though many voters read it as feminine. Fragrance World Cocktail Intense and The Dua Brand Angelic Elixir have a close profile.
