What does Erbium smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a tendency. It reads neither masculine nor feminine; there is no information on season or occasion.

It opens with bergamot, cardamom, chocolate truffle and almond. Cocoa, rose, cognac and heliotrope lead the heart, and tolu balm, patchouli, musk, vanilla and oak form the base. The accords are sweet, spicy, powdery and lightly smoky. Etro Heliotrope and Maison Tahité Cacao Libertine have a close profile.
