What does Terre d'Orient smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Autumn and winter lead, with spring close behind. It is mostly worn for leisure, nights out and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes are split evenly, so it sits between the two.

The scent reads as one piece: iris and rose give a powdery floral feel, which vanilla and bitter almond sweeten. Patchouli, styrax, Brazilian rosewood and cedarwood add a woody, resinous depth, while the spicy, oriental side stays in the background and a fresh touch drifts through.
