What does Eau Dadà smell like?

The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single whole. Saffron and frankincense set a spicy, resinous frame, while Thai oud and Indonesian patchouli add a woody, earthy, smoky ground. Bourbon vanilla and orange blossom sweeten that dry texture into an oriental warmth.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, and while more voters call it masculine, a sizeable share see it as feminine. Lattafa Pride Hala and Hervé Gambs Rouge Cardinal have a close profile.
