What does Palindrome II smell like?

Mexican vanilla and sugar cane bring the sweetness, balanced by the woody, earthy, resinous side of Maltese labdanum and patchouli. Leather and castoreum add an animal, smoky depth, while black pepper, ginger and cinnamon leaf carry the spice, with osmanthus and bergamot staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads mostly masculine, though classic and feminine votes are also there. John Varvatos Dark Rebel and Histoires de Parfums 1740 have a close profile.
