What does Id smell like?

It opens with ravansara, then moves into a floral-spicy heart of nutmeg, clove, jasmine, iris and violet. The base of Ceylonese cinnamon, labdanum, oud and birch turns resinous and smoky, while ambroxan and white musk soften the edges.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Mendittorosa Alfa and Perfumer H White Smoke have a close profile.
