What does 26 Isparta smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. More voters call it feminine than masculine, but the masculine share is sizeable, so it sits between the two.

It opens with red fruits and Turkish rose, sweet and floral. In the heart, patchouli, Peru balsam and calamus add a spicy, woody depth. The base of oud, frankincense, musk, benzoin and ambroxan leaves a smoky, resinous, oriental trail. Amouage Opus IV and Collistar L'Ambra have a close profile.
