What does Karma smell like?

The top notes pair coriander and tobacco with ginger and cinnamon for a spicy start. In the heart, cocoa, aniseed, clove and vanilla pull it towards a creamy, gourmand sweetness. The base of amber, benzoin, dried fruits and oud dries down warm, resinous and faintly animalic.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits those who like rich, oriental, sweet fragrances and is not a light or fresh choice. Lou de Pre Amber Flame and François Delì Sweet Tobacco have a close profile.
