What does Oxiana (2009) smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with leisure time and evenings as the favoured occasions. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It leans somewhat masculine in the votes, though a good share find it feminine, so it works on both.

Opoponax, myrrh, patchouli and musk come together here. The scent is spicy, woody and earthy, with the resinous and smoky side taking the lead and a faint animal warmth sitting in the background. A touch of freshness lifts it slightly. The result is a dry, dense and oriental character.
