Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure, evening and night out lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it reads open to either.
It starts with angelica root, saffron and galbanum, green and spicy. Indian tuberose, davana and ylang-ylang bring a floral weight to the heart. In the base, birch tar, cade juniper wood, labdanum and styrax leave a smoky, earthy, leathery trail as it dries.
