What does Akasha / Akasha XQ smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of voters is small, so the picture is not conclusive. The character is dense and heavy, suiting those who like a pronounced, full-bodied perfume rather than something light for every day. It sits comfortably on men and women alike.

Floral, spicy and woody accords lead, with animal, resinous and smoky tones alongside. Japanese rose, neroli, honeysuckle and violet form the floral side. Sichuan pepper adds spice, while Taiwanese, Burmese and Malayan oud and myrrh carry the woody, resinous depth. Hay absolute and vanilla soften the blend.
