What does Ozkan smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole. Italian mandarin orange and orange blossom bring a bright floral lift, while saffron adds spice. Leathery notes, gaiac wood and Indonesian patchouli pull the scent toward woody and earthy ground, and immortelle with Brazilian tonka bean adds a creamy, sweet softness.

Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, with winter not far behind. Evening, night out and leisure wear are rated almost equally. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it truly reads as unisex. Narciso Rodriguez Safran Musc and Histoires de Parfums 1904 have a close profile.
