Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes behind them, so that reading is tentative. The dense sweetness and resinous warmth lean it towards cooler weather, and as a unisex scent it reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine.
It opens with davana, almond and date, sweet and fruity. In the heart, Virginia cedar, heliotrope, brandy and African coffee absolute come forward. As it dries, tolu balm, cane sugar, sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody, resinous, sweet base. Esteban Baume Tolu and Kemi Aurum have a close profile.
