What does № 12 - Eau d'Épices smell like?

It opens with red mandarin orange, clove and cinnamon, while coriander and cardamom keep the spicy side going. In the heart, orange blossom and jasmine add a soft floral note, and frankincense with orris root settles it onto a resinous, powdery footing. Vetiver, tonka bean, labdanum and ambergris leave a woody, slightly animalic and sweet warmth at the base.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter; leisure and daily wear lead, with evening and night out close behind. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits somewhere in between. Aēsop Marrakech Intense (Eau de Toilette) and Sospiro Duetto have a close profile.
