What does Or du Sérail smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than daytime or the office. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads as genuinely in between.

It opens with davana, rum, mango and orange, giving a fruity sweetness. In the heart, coconut and beeswax absolute soften that sweetness. As it settles, tobacco absolute, labdanum, vanilla and oak wood come forward, leaving a woody, smoky, spiced warmth.
