ResinousWhat does Cappadocia smell like?
It opens with saffron, and a floral heart of Turkish rose absolute, orris butter and jasmine absolute follows. The base of Bourbon vanilla absolute, myrrh, frankincense, Australian sandalwood and Siam benzoin leaves a sweet, woody, resinous warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits in between. Its profile is close to Penhaligon's Cairo and Carine Roitfeld Aurélien.
