What does Anthem smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and night out, leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. It leans a little more masculine than anything else, though votes for classic and feminine are close behind.

It starts with nutmeg, saffron, cinnamon and lemon, where the spice meets the citrus. In the heart, ylang-ylang, rose, vanilla and labdanum add a floral, sweet warmth. The base of patchouli, amber, sandalwood, oakmoss, musk and oud settles into a woody, resinous foundation. Lattafa Oud Mood Reminiscence and Roja Parfums Aoud have a close profile.
