Most voters find its longevity and sillage very strong. Autumn and winter lead the season votes, while summer is rarely chosen. More voters call it masculine, though feminine and modern votes are there too.
Cardamom, apple and rose open on a fruity, floral brightness. Saffron, honey and oud come forward in the heart, and vanilla, caramel and leather settle into a sweet, smoky, resinous warmth. The Spirit of Dubai Aamal and Baz have a close profile.
