What does Dear Karma smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits nights out and evenings best. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it doesn't lean to one side.

It opens with absinth, neroli, frankincense and rose, then moves into saffron, patchouli, caramel and myrrh. Leather, ambergris and vetiver sit underneath. A floral start turns sweet and spicy, then dries down smoky and leathery.
