What does The Calling smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out come up most often as the occasion. It reads more masculine than feminine to most, though it is unisex.
The top opens spicy and fruity with green mango, cardamom, lavender and pink pepper. Cinnamon, saffron and gaiac wood warm the heart, and the base of vanilla, caramel, chocolate and tobacco settles it into something sweet, dry and woody.
