What does Dux Orientis smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening, night out and leisure the favoured occasions, while summer comes well behind. It reads mostly masculine, though some voters call it modern or feminine.

Cantaloupe, mandarin orange and bergamot give a fruity, fresh opening. In the heart, spikenard, lychee blossom and kelp add a watery, lightly sweet transition. The base of ambroxan, musk and oud brings a woody, animalic depth. Juliette Has A Gun Another Oud and LPDO Excentrique Oud have a close profile.
