What does Oriental Leather smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out more than the office. Although it is unisex, most voters read it as masculine. Guerlain Patchouli Ardent and Nishane Shem have a close profile.

It opens with raspberry, pimento leaf and vervain, a lightly green and fruity start. In the heart, lavender, cinnamon and geranium add a floral, spicy warmth. The base settles on frankincense resin, patchouli, leather and benzoin, leaving an earthy, woody and sweetly resinous finish.
