What does Cuir de Marrakech smell like?

The top is cinnamon, almond and plum, with bergamot lifting the sweetness a little. In the heart, opoponax, patchouli and frankincense add a resinous, spiced weight. The base of musk, tonka bean and vanilla absolute settles into a powdery, gourmand warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night out and evening are the favourite occasions, while summer is the least chosen season. Feminine leads the character votes, with masculine a clear second. Stendhal Ambre Sublime and Penhaligon's Clandestine Clara have a close profile.
