What does Halcyon smell like?

Halcyon lasts well and projects strongly, and most voters rate both qualities highly. It isn't tied to one gender and can sit comfortably on a man or a woman.

It opens with rum, cinnamon and toffee, a sweet and spicy start. In the heart, orchid, tobacco, honey and tonka bean soften that sweetness and give it depth. The base of labdanum, musk, benzoin and vanilla leaves a creamy, oriental trail. Nobile 1942 Il Capriccio del Maestro and Soma Parfums Halcyon Oud have a close profile.
