What does Axum smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. Voters pick fall, spring and winter in similar numbers and summer less often. Leisure and evening wear lead, with business and night out close behind. Votes on whether it reads masculine or feminine are split almost evenly.

Black caraway, frankincense and clove open it with a spicy, resinous start. In the heart, champagne, cashmere and patchouli soften that edge and set a woody ground. Vanilla, white musk and ambergris sweeten the base. Pineward Velvetine and Heeley Cardinal have a close profile.
