What does Labdanum Dusk (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It starts with saffron and cedar leaf, then moves into cypriol, leather and cedarwood in the heart. The base holds labdanum, oud, patchouli, vanilla and tonka bean; the spicy, woody and leathery character is softened by a creamy sweetness, with the resinous side leading.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Its dense, oriental build suits cooler weather and evenings, and it can be worn by men and women alike. Trussardi Behind the Curtain Piazza alla Scala and Thameen Regent Leather have a close profile.
