What does Narjesi smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, and evening or a night out as the occasion, while summer and office wear stay in the background. The largest share of voters finds it feminine, though a sizeable group calls it masculine.

It opens with Taif rose, saffron, cardamom and pink pepper, with fruity and spicy notes sweetening the rose. The heart is led by vetiver, patchouli, vanilla and honey. The base settles into amber, leather, frankincense and caramel. The overall character is fresh, floral, sweet, woody and powdery, with an oriental feel.
