What does Dunhuang / 敦煌 smell like?

Mandarin orange, tangerine and kumquat form a bright citrus base, while jasmine absolute, osmanthus and magnolia add floral sweetness with a touch of plum. Cinnamon, cumin and black pepper bring the spice forward, and incense and Lapsang Souchong tea carry a smoky edge. Sandalwood, cedar and amber give a warm woody ground, and civet leaves an animalic trace.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it sits comfortably on either. Chanel Allure Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Dior Poison (Esprit de Parfum) have a close profile.
