What does Au Coeur du Désert smell like?

The top is spices and citrus notes, with amber at the heart. The base brings woody notes, patchouli, balsamic notes and ambergris. The accords build a sweet, spicy, resinous oriental character, and earthy and smoky tones deepen it without making it harsh.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and summer comes last. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with daytime and office wear chosen less often. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is unisex. Un Thé au Sahara and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
