What does Oriental Extreme / Oriental Express smell like?

Sandalwood and vanilla build a sweet, creamy base, with resins and balsam adding warmth. Powdery and woody notes soften it, while basil and carrot seed leave a spicy, faintly earthy edge inside the sweetness. The overall impression is gourmand and oriental.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, though leisure and daily wear also get a fair share. Votes lean somewhat feminine, but a sizeable group calls it masculine. soOud Jade Eau Fine and Boss Collection - Velvet Amber have a close profile.
