What does Harmattan smell like?

It opens with honey, red fruits and coriander, where the sweetness is checked by spice. The heart of geranium, leather, jasmine, violet and rose builds a floral body, with the leather adding a firmer edge. The base of amber, vetiver, oud and frankincense brings a resinous, earthy, smoky depth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer gets only a small share. It leans towards evenings and leisure wear, and also suits nights out. It reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.
