What does Arrakis (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with thyme, rosemary, bergamot, grapefruit and lemon, a fresh, herbal brightness softened by saffron and osmanthus. At the heart, patchouli, vetiver, gaiac wood and Virginia tobacco build a woody, smoky character. Oud, musk, ambergris and tonka bean in the base sweeten it into a warm, gourmand finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex.
