What does Sable Marocain / Morocco Sand smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is most often matched with evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share call it feminine.

Cocoa and Moroccan labdanum build a sweet, resinous base, with ginger adding spice and citrus fruits a light lift. Gaiac wood and vetiver pull it towards an earthy, smoky woodiness, and a soft powdery note sits behind. Perfumes with a close profile include Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Esteban Tonka.
