What does Omen smell like?

It opens with saffron, apple and bay leaf, a fruity and spicy start. In the heart, jasmine, buchu and fir balsam add a floral, resinous turn. The base is led by leather, oud, amber and tonka bean, with ambergris and musk softening this woody, oriental and animalic foundation.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and few choose summer. Evening and night-out wear stand out. In character votes, the masculine side leads. Rasasi Junoon Leather for Women and Raïs Palais du Raïs have a close profile.
