What does I-II Montecristo smell like?

Cabreuva, ambrette seed and rum open it, with cistus, tobacco, celery seed and benzoin in the heart. The base of styrax, hyraceum, patchouli and cedarwood adds an animal, resinous and earthy weight. The sweetness forms a warm ground inside that dry, smoky frame.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out, though it also works for leisure. Most voters find it masculine, but it reads as unisex. The Dua Brand Oglasa and S.A.C.K.Y Qaaid have a close profile.
