What does Saba smell like?

It opens with lavender and bergamot meeting the roasted edge of coffee bean. In the heart, liquorice, spicy notes and cedarwood come forward. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and amber turns it creamy and sweet, while patchouli keeps a woody depth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night out, evening and leisure are the most named occasions. More voters call it masculine, though a good share see it as feminine. Phil Julian Fovere and Bond No. 9 New Haarlem have a close profile.
