What does Tsubaki smell like?

Saffron leads at the start, then jasmine and camellia form a floral middle. Patchouli, musk and oud weigh down the base; fruity and sweet tones soften that woody, smoky ground, while a synthetic sheen stays in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters lean towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, with business and daily use not far behind. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine. Initio Oud for Greatness and Afnan Supremacy in Oud have a close profile.
