What does Kafka (2022) smell like?

Oakmoss, birch tar and tobacco dominate, while Virginia cedar and Sumatran patchouli lay a woody, earthy base. Labdanum and styrax add a resinous, animalic depth, which vanilla softens. Champaca and narcissus stay in the background as a powdery floral sweetness, and bergamot lightens the mix slightly.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and almost all voters find it long-lasting. It sits comfortably on anyone, and it is a dense, characterful scent.
