What does Desert Dusk smell like?

Most voters pick fall, then spring, and the votes spread across leisure, daily wear and evening. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most votes read it as masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

Bergamot, clary sage and eucalyptus give it a cool opening. The heart holds cedarwood, patchouli, nagarmotha and gardenia, with the floral side kept in the background, and the base of vetiver, sandalwood, pepper and amber adds a spicy, resinous warmth.
