Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.

Sits nicely on a shelf.

The notes read as a single whole: Ceylonese cinnamon and Iranian saffron carry the spice, while Persian rose absolute, night-blooming jasmine absolute and black geranium bring the floral side. Indonesian and Burmese oud, Mysore and Australian sandalwood and myrrh add a woody, creamy, resinous depth, and black and white ambergris sweeten and soften the picture, with an aquatic accord staying in the background.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. There is no clear voting on season or occasion, but the rich, spicy build points more towards cooler weather. Perfumes with a close profile include Nebiru Parfvms Ruby Red and Memo Paris Cappadocia.
