From your scent profile
The Maker Lover is a floral and fruity unisex scent that opens with fig and Madagascar pepper, then softens into cedarwood, jasmine sambac and suede.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote count is small, so treat this as a rough guide. It reads as unisex, and no clear lean towards a season or occasion shows.
The top pairs fig, Madagascar pepper, vanilla and gurjum balsam, giving a sweet, spicy start. In the heart, cedarwood, jasmine sambac, narcissus and suede join floral notes to a soft, woody texture. The base of vetiver, oud, musk and Indian sandalwood dries down on a woody footing. Gypsy Perfume A Eugene Tale and Xerjoff 400 have a close profile.
