What does Cuir de l'Aigle Russe (2015) smell like?

It opens with Canary Islands juniper, lavender and coriander, a fresh and spicy start lifted slightly by bergamot and davana. In the heart, immortelle, May rose and patchouli join the floral side to an earthy one. The base turns warm and resinous with labdanum, benzoin, frankincense and amber, while sandalwood and musk soften it into something powdery.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind, and evening, leisure and night out lead the occasions. Feminine and masculine votes run close, with a classic feel to it as well. Its profile is close to FOMO Gary's Den and Floris Mahon Leather.
