What does Beyond the Pashtun Summit smell like?
It opens with hashish, pomegranate and davana, a fruity sweetness set against a smoky backdrop. The heart of labdanum, naswar, cistus absolute and poppy adds a resinous, spicy warmth. Oud, leather, sandalwood and deer musk in the base deepen the woody, leathery side.
Voters find both its longevity and sillage strong, so it lingers on skin and fills the air around you. Its dense, oriental build suits cooler weather and evenings, and it sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Byredo Tobacco Mandarin and Clive Christian C: Woody Leather have a close profile.
