What does Tears on Mystic Sands smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen less often. It leans towards night outs and evenings. In character it sits between feminine and masculine, on a modern line.

It opens with tangerine, bergamot and lychee for a fruity brightness. In the heart, rose, oud and frankincense carry the floral sweetness into a smoky depth. The base settles on leather, musk, vanilla and sandalwood, ending powdery, woody and oriental in warmth.
