What does Djélem smell like?

In Djélem the floral and spicy accords run side by side: carnation and clove give it a warm, slightly sharp character, while amber and immortelle set it on a sweet, resinous and powdery base. A woody, oriental backdrop keeps it full.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good; most pick autumn and winter, and evening or night-out wear. A few more call it feminine than masculine, though plenty vote masculine too. Harry Lehmann Nelke and Serge Lutens Vitriol d'Œillet have a close profile.
