What does Damascus Desert smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. It neither projects far nor fades quickly, which gives it a restrained, easygoing character for everyday wear.

Ginger and citrus give a lively, lightly spicy freshness at first. In the heart, geranium, clary sage and iris add a floral, powdery and green softness. The base of vetiver, moss, cedarwood and amber turns woody with a faint sweetness. Burberry Burberry for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Zirh Ikon Chrome have a close profile.
