What does Cuir Ottoman smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer is hardly chosen at all. Evening and night out lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Leather, birch and frankincense give it a smoky, dry backbone. Benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean and tolu balm sweeten and soften that edge. Iris adds a powdery touch, while Egyptian jasmine brings a floral light.
