What does Crater smell like?

Crater weaves together amber, benzoin, tonka bean, labdanum and vanilla. Sweetness and a creamy softness dominate, while the spicy and smoky accords keep it from turning plain sugary and give it an oriental depth.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most for nights out and evenings. It leans somewhat masculine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Kerosene Follow and Parfums de Marly Oajan have a close profile.
