What does Naga Mantra smell like?

The notes aren't split into layers: yuzu, bergamot and lavender bring freshness, while jasmine sambac and osmanthus carry the floral side. East Indian oud, sandalwood and opoponax absolute add a woody-resinous depth, and blond tobacco and castoreum leave a smoky, animal trace.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters split evenly between spring, summer and fall, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. Masculine tops the character votes, with feminine and classic close behind. Annette Neuffer Hepster and D.S. & Durga Freetrapper share a close profile.
