What does Mighty Bear smell like?

It opens with bergamot and elemi resin, a citrusy and lightly spicy start. Sesame and patchouli blossom lead the heart, and in the base tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla sweeten the scent and settle it into a creamy woodiness. The oriental, resinous side runs through the whole wear.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter; evenings and nights out lead, though it also finds a place in daily wear. Nishane Santalové and Georges Rech Oriental Dream have a close profile.
