What does Empyreal smell like?

It opens with plum and orange for a fruity start. In the heart, cocoa, suede, Venezuelan tonka bean and pastry push it towards a gourmand sweetness. The base of gaiac wood, birch tar and Java vetiver settles into something smoky, leathery and woody, while spicy and powdery touches keep the sweetness in check.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for leisure and evening wear, with nights out close behind. It reads as unisex, and Maison Margiela Jazz Club and MCM MCM Diamond have a close profile.
