It opens with cardamom and pink pepper, and raspberry, nutmeg and ylang-ylang sit in the heart. In the base, cedarwood, bourbon whiskey and amber come forward, and the oriental, earthy side settles in as it dries down.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage good, with most voters scoring both highly, though the vote count is small. Its warm, spicy build leans neither masculine nor feminine. Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Adopt' Oud Ambre have a close profile.
