What does Oriental Essence - Sultan de Muscat smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring behind them and summer chosen least. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though leisure and daily wear also get votes. Close to half of those voting call it masculine, and many also find it classic.

It opens with juniper and nutmeg, then moves into a woody, aromatic heart of lavender, thyme and cedarwood. Patchouli, leather and musk form the base, while the accords lean spicy, resinous, earthy, smoky and leathery. The overall impression is dry, warm and oriental. Montale Black Musk and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Royale have a close profile.
