LeatheryWhat does Cuir Garamante smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions; summer is the least chosen. Most call it masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.
It opens with nutmeg, pink pepper and saffron for a spicy warmth. At the heart, rose, papyrus, leather and oud build a smoky, leathery core. In the base, labdanum, sandalwood, frankincense and Bourbon vanilla sweeten it and soften it into a resinous, woody warmth. Ferrari Essence Oud and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.
