What does Oriental Essence - Elixir d'Orient / Eau d'Orient smell like?

The scent reads as a single whole: vanilla and frankincense carry the sweetness and the smoke, Persian pepper adds a spicy warmth, lilac brings a powdery softness, and woods leave a dry line underneath. The overall impression is oriental, warm and sweet.

Most voters recommend autumn and winter. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits leisure and daily wear. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters mostly see it as feminine. Mercedes-Benz Club Black and Bois 1920 La Vaniglia have a close profile.
