From your scent profile
nBitor Babieca is a dense unisex scent where sweetness meets smoky, leathery and animalic tones.
Skunky's take: The votes point to evening; dressed for a nice dinner.
How does it perform?
From 20 community ratings, all out of 10.
Sprayed at breakfast, still around at dinner.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.
Blind buy risk
Love it or hate it: the votes are split in two.

EarthyWhat does Babieca smell like?
The top holds saffron, cade juniper, raspberry and aldehydes, with the raspberry sweetness set against a spicy, smoky edge. Osmanthus, tobacco, hay and cypriol lead the heart. The base of patchouli, leather, civet and oakmoss, softened by caramel, musk and vanilla, settles into a woody, resinous, earthy warmth.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a small number of voters have weighed in. Its heavy, assertive character calls for a deliberate hand. Ministry of Oud Nile Whispers and Areej Le Doré Manly have a close profile.
