What does Caput Mundi smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Night out, evening and leisure lead the occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine to most voters, but a good share see it as feminine, so it works either way.

It opens with tea rose, iris and Bulgarian rose absolute for a floral start. In the heart, Indian patchouli, oud, Italian saffron and sandalwood turn it spicy and woody. The base is dominated by Cambodian and Vietnamese oud, ambergris and Cuban cedar, leaving a sweet, powdery trail. Lancôme Trésor and Tauer Perfumes Les Années 25 Bis have a close profile.
