What does Perception (Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the small number of votes makes this a hint rather than a firm verdict. It stays on skin for a long time and sits comfortably on men and women alike.

Leather, sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver form a woody, leathery base. Cognac, amber and vanilla pull it towards a warm, sweet tone, while jasmine and ylang-ylang add the floral side. Thyme and rosemary bring a spicy, slightly herbal edge.
