It starts spicy with saffron and cumin; in the heart, fig, iris and Gurjum balsam bring a green, powdery and creamy softness. The base of sandalwood, cedarwood and Siam benzoin dries down woody, sweet and resinous.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter; it leans towards leisure and daily wear, and is also seen as fitting for evenings and the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits between the two.
