Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, so it is easy to notice on skin. It suits men and women alike, with a warm, serious character.
It opens with cinnamon, cardamom and bergamot for a spicy warmth. At the heart, patchouli, vetiver, iris and rose add an earthy, powdery floral touch. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin soften the sweetness, while leather and musk leave a woody, leathery depth.
