What does Hamsa smell like?
Hamsa's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, with spring next, while winter and summer still get a fair share. It is chosen most for leisure, followed by evenings and the office. Its character splits between masculine and feminine, so it leans neither way.
Lemon and apricot give it a fresh, fruity brightness, which cognac softens. Frankincense, myrrh, mastic and liquidambar build a resinous, smoky core. Sandalwood, palo santo and oud add an earthy, woody depth.
