What does 1001 / ١٠٠١ smell like?

The opening is light and lightly spiced, built from red tea, bergamot, ginger and pink pepper. In the heart, saffron, iris and Turkish rose absolute add a soft, spicy floral note. Sandalwood, vanilla and amber sweeten the base and settle it into a resinous, woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean slightly towards fall and spring, though all four seasons get similar support, and it is chosen for leisure time as well as evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it reads comfortably either way.
