What does Behique smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear, with night outings close behind. It reads mostly masculine, though many also call it classic.

It opens with basil, rum, tobacco flower, magnolia and cannabis. In the heart, pepper, cedar, patchouli and aniseed come forward, softened by cashmere wood and amber. The base of sandalwood, tobacco and Haitian vetiver settles into an earthy, resinous and smoky finish.
