The top is saffron, bergamot, nutmeg, davana and cardamom, which make the opening spicy with a light citrus edge. In the heart, beeswax absolute, cinnamon, honey, mango, clary sage and fig milk push the sweetness further. The base of tobacco, benzoin, vanilla, patchouli and labdanum absolute lays down a resinous, powdery, earthy floor, and the overall impression is gourmand and woody.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. It suits men and women alike. Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and FOMO Illusion d'Un Soir have a close profile.
