What does Arslantepe smell like?

The top notes are bergamot, caramel and vanilla, so it opens bright and sugary. In the heart, rose, mocha, leather and mango carry the sweetness toward something heavier and leathery. Oud, musk, cedar and sandalwood then settle it onto a woody, resinous base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It reads as an oriental scent that can be worn by men and women alike. Pink Sugar Black Sugar and Kemi Kemi have a close profile.
