What does Tabana smell like?
It opens with oud, cardamom, saffron and bergamot together: spicy and resinous, softened by the fruity brightness of the bergamot. At the heart, leather and pepper take over and the scent turns woody and smoky. Ambergris stays in the base and rounds off the oriental foundation.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits evenings, leisure time and nights out, though it also works for business. It reads mostly masculine and classic. Oakcha Garden of Lusail and Clive Christian C: Woody Leather have a close profile.
