What does La Fumée Arabie smell like?

The top notes of cardamom, cistus, cumin and coriander open spicy. At the heart, frankincense, birch tar and cedar build a resinous, smoky woodiness. In the base, vanilla, oud, ash and rose soften the sweetness and close the scent with an oriental warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, and it is chosen more often for evenings and nights out. It leans slightly masculine, though a fair share of votes call it feminine. Tom Ford Sahara Noir and Miller Harris La Fumée Ottoman have a close profile.
