Rose and saffron open it, then sandalwood, patchouli and oud settle the heart onto a woody, resinous base. Ambergris, leather and white musk sit underneath, while the floral and powdery side softens the leathery edge.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night out and evening the leading occasions. Though unisex, the votes lean feminine. Montale Aoud Moon and Mancera Black to Black have a close profile.
