What does Akhetaten smell like?

The opening is warm and dry, led by liquorice, saffron, nutmeg and cinnamon. Rose absolute, pink lotus and jasmine bring a floral softness at the heart, with ylang-ylang sweetening it. The base settles into a smoky, resinous depth of suede, birch tar, frankincense, myrrh and amber.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter, and evening and night-out wear lead, though it also works for leisure. It reads evenly between masculine and feminine. Parfum Prissana Sahar and Strangers Parfumerie Ember have a close profile.
