What does Caravansérail Intense smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and lean towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine, so it works on either side.

It opens with raspberry and plum giving a fruity sweetness, deepened by coffee absolute. In the heart, cardamom, clove and cinnamon bring the spice, while patchouli and sandalwood set a woody base. Vanilla, tonka bean and amber soften the dry-down, and immortelle absolute adds an earthy, smoky edge.
