What does Pentachord Auburn smell like?

Amber and sandalwood form the backbone, while cinnamon and tobacco add a sweet, spicy warmth. Lemon blossom lifts the heavier texture slightly. The overall impression is woody, oriental and a little synthetic.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters pick it most for leisure and evenings, with nights out close behind. Business and daily wear drew fewer votes. Gritti Damascus and Avapari Rum & Spice have a close profile.
