What does Cuìr de Afrìcano smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters recommend autumn, winter and spring, while summer plays a minor role. It is chosen most often for evenings, leisure time and nights out.

Leather and oud lead, with cardamom, cumin and turmeric adding a spicy warmth. Patchouli and vetiver build an earthy, woody base, geranium and musk soften it, and Sicilian bergamot lends a touch of freshness. Amouage Epic Man and Dior Leather Oud have a close profile.
