Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.
Mugwort, bergamot, green notes and grapefruit open it fresh. The heart brings cumin, cinnamon, saffron and cardamom, softened by violet and jasmine. The base settles into oud, leather, amber and vanilla, sweet, woody and resinous.
