What does Soleil de Jeddah Afterglow smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring close behind, and it suits evenings and nights out best. Votes on masculine and feminine character are close, so it sits comfortably on either.

It opens with bergamot and tangerine, softened by frankincense and chamomile. Myrrh, orchid and amber form the heart, with vetiver, benzoin, vanilla and styrax underneath, settling into a spicy, woody, leathery sweetness.
