What does Bois de Turquie smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is seen as an evening and night-out scent, though business and daily wear get votes too. More voters call it masculine than feminine, but the feminine share is sizeable.

It opens fresh and citrusy with bergamot, mandarin orange and orange blossom. The heart of jasmine, iris and laurel adds a soft, slightly powdery floral touch. In the base, frankincense, myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood turn it resinous, smoky and faintly sweet. Amouage Silver and La Perla Just Precious have a close profile.
