What does Kursa smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either men's or women's skin.

The top holds rose, patchouli and musk. Mandarin orange and French labdanum make up the heart, with oud in the base. Citrus and floral tones brighten the start, then the resinous and earthy side moves forward and it settles into an oriental, woody character. Pigmentarium Murmur and Arabian Oud Woody have a close profile.
