What does Asian Inspirations smell like?

It opens with bitter orange, cardamom and bergamot, fresh with a slightly bitter edge. The heart turns spicy and smoky with saffron, black pepper, oud and nutmeg. In the base, Siam benzoin, Java vetiver, white cedar and leather settle it into green, earthy and resinous tones.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and towards leisure, business and evening wear. Its character splits between masculine and feminine. Its profile is close to Olfactive Studio Autoportrait and Odin New York 08 Seylon.
