What does Kalahari smell like?

It opens with saffron, bergamot and cardamom, giving a bright, spiced start. At the heart, amber, cedar and labdanum build a resinous, oriental warmth. Frankincense, musk and cashmere wood gather it all onto a woody, creamy base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It is chosen about equally for leisure, evenings and nights out, and it also works for daily and business wear. Votes are split closely between masculine and feminine. Atelier Rebul J. C. Reboul and Ajmal Evoke Silver Edition for Him have a close profile.
