What does Stag smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, red grapefruit and bergamot, a citrusy start. In the heart, oud, black leather and labdanum bring out the leathery, smoky side. The base of frankincense, patchouli and Palo Santo settles into a dry, resinous, woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It is made for both men and women, and suits those who like a heavy, smoky character. Calé Fragranze d'Autore Preludio d'Oriente and Timothy Han Edition Perfumes On the Road have a close profile.
