What does Aurum smell like?

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, night out and leisure the most named occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

A saffron opening gives way to a heart of styrax, fir balsam and myrrh, which turns resinous and smoky. The base of oud, patchouli and gaiac wood settles into an earthy, woody floor, while the green and spicy touches keep the weight in check. Robert Piguet Oud and Franck Boclet Ashes have a close profile.
