What does Dark Heart of Papua smell like?
The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as one piece: Papua oud and smoked wood form a dark woody core, while Java vetiver and oakmoss add an earthy, green edge. Indian tuberose, jasmine sambac and red champaca carry the floral side, and castoreum and hyraceum give it a leathery, animal depth.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and favor leisure, night out and evening wear. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits between the two. Prin Rahassanai and TSVGA Fiona have a close profile.
