What does Andalusian Soul smell like?

It opens with acacia, rum and amber, then gathers balsamic notes, smoky notes, cistus and labdanum in the heart. Clary sage, vanilla and amber form the base; a creamy, gourmand sweetness meets a spicy warmth, and the oriental character holds throughout.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. More voters read it as feminine, though it is unisex.
