What does Oriental Raspberry smell like?

It opens on raspberry, then benzoin, frankincense and oud move in at the heart, anchoring the fruit in a resinous, woody base. In the base, smoke, leather and oriental spices take over, leaving a smoky, leathery, slightly animalic character.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so a light hand is enough. Its dense, dark build leans towards cooler weather, and it suits men and women alike. Voters also rate it well for the price.
