What does Gengis Khan (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It reads masculine and classic.

It opens with clove, mint, lavender and bergamot, which give a spicy freshness. In the heart, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley add a soft floral touch. In the base, frankincense, patchouli and benzoin carry it into a sweet, resinous, smoky dryness. The green and earthy sides stay in the background. Yves Saint Laurent Opium (Secret de Parfum) and Estēe Lauder Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
