What does Blâme & Objurgation smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters rate its staying power high, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. No clear lean towards a season or occasion shows.

It opens with blackcurrant, guava and grape, giving a fruity brightness. The heart brings salt, ebony and oud, and the base holds oud maleki, red wine and blond woods. Woody, earthy and smoky tones settle over the fruit's sweetness, with spicy, animal and leathery touches alongside. Laurent Smal AG I and Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Kalakasi Oud have a close profile.
