What does Eau the Audacity smell like?

It opens with black pepper and elemi leaf giving a spicy edge to orange blossom. The heart of saffron blossom, frankincense and rose absolute brings a floral, resinous softness, and the base settles into ambergris, leather and vanilla, sweet, creamy and slightly smoky.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly for evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Hoermanseder Berlin Nights and Franck Muller Conquistador have a close profile.
