What does Rakaan (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter trailing behind. It is chosen most for leisure and evenings, though some wear it to the office. Most voters find it masculine.

The top opens fresh and citrusy with Caribbean lime and grapefruit. Lotus in the heart adds a soft floral touch. The base of sandalwood, amber, oud and cedarwood settles into a woody, spicy, oriental warmth, with a green edge in the background.
