What does Nadir smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and lean towards evening and night-out wear. It reads slightly more masculine, though a good share of voters call it feminine.

Camphor and cardamom give a cool, spicy start. In the heart, patchouli, myrrh and leather take over; in the base, castoreum, vanilla and tar build a smoky, animal and earthy ground, with the vanilla softening that rough texture a little. Amouage Epic Man and Élisire Extrait Noir have a close profile.
