What does Baz smell like?

Clove, cinnamon, saffron and black pepper give the top a spicy start, while leather, rose and jasmine form a floral, leathery heart. The base settles into Indian oud, amber, vanilla and myrrh, resinous, smoky and slightly animalic in warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both rated very strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings and nights out far more than summer or the office. It reads masculine to most voters, though it is made for anyone. The Spirit of Dubai Abjar and Yves Saint Laurent Opium (Parfum) have a close profile.
