What does Himalayan Spell smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the vote counts are small, so those ratings are tentative. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Its character tips masculine, with a fair number calling it modern.

Up top, the spice of saffron and black pepper is softened by the sweet, fruity raspberry. In the heart, cedar, nagarmotha and jasmine build a woody, earthy ground with a floral touch. In the base, Oud Assafi™, suede and leather take over, and the animal, smoky side grows heavier. Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) and Pantheon Nerone have a close profile.
