Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out; office and daily wear get fewer votes. Votes for masculine and feminine character are close, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.
A bergamot opening gives way to a heart of Grasse jasmine, orange blossom and May rose. In the base, leather, patchouli, vanilla, benzoin and oud build a resinous, woody, leathery warmth, with a powdery, oriental edge. Pierre de Velay No. 1 has a close profile to Roja Parfums Aoud and Roja Parfums Amber.
