What does Gnaga smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. The profile is unisex and suits those who like dense, heavy fragrances.
The top opens with oud, coriander, juniper and red fruits, where fruity sweetness meets spice. In the heart, rose, jasmine, castoreum and cedarwood add a floral, powdery and animalic touch. The base of benzoin, sandalwood, amber and patchouli settles into a sweet, resinous and earthy finish.
