Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind and summer barely chosen. Evening and night-out wear lead, though it also works for leisure. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, with masculine ahead by a small margin.
It opens with sandalwood laying a soft, woody base. Amber follows in the heart, adding sweetness and a powdery warmth, and labdanum in the base gives a resinous, slightly smoky depth. The spicy accord keeps the sweetness in check.
