What does Flaming Red smell like?

Bulgarian rose and Florentine iris carry the floral side, while passion fruit adds a fruity brightness. Laotian oud and amber give a woody, resinous depth, and Bourbon vanilla sweetens the whole. A spicy, faintly animal trace stays in the background.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. Xerjoff Mamluk and Xerjoff Alexandria III have a close profile.
