What does Tambour Sacré smell like?

It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage. Most voters recommend fall and winter, spring follows, and summer gets the smallest share. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Voters read it as more masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Eau d'Italie Baume du Doge and Phuong Dang Craving have a close profile.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, orange, black pepper and cardamom, so citrus and spice arrive together. The heart holds coffee absolute, cinnamon and tuberose absolute, with sweet acacia softening the floral side. The base of Mysore sandalwood, benzoin, tonka bean, myrrh and opoponax carries it into a woody, resinous, faintly smoky warmth.
