What does Soleil de Jeddah smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, then spring and winter, and it is chosen most often for nights out and evenings. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine.

Lemon, osmanthus and chamomile open with a fresh, fruity brightness. In the heart, amber, Florentine iris and earthy notes soften and deepen it. The base brings Florentine orris butter, Russian leather and Bourbon vanilla, settling into a sweet, resinous, leathery warmth. Stéphane Humbert Lucas Soleil de Jeddah Afterglow and Nishane Shem have a close profile.
