What does Leonis I smell like?

The top is Brazilian orange, davana, Italian saffron and black pepper, fresh but spiced. In the heart, Cambodian oud, Jordan myrrh, Omani frankincense and Texas cedar bring a smoky, resinous character. The base of Australian sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and ambergris softens it, leaving a warm, animalic, oriental finish.

Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It suits those who like dense, woody, spicy scents, and as a unisex fragrance it doesn't lean toward men or women. Trudon Mortel and Xerjoff Amphorae 17 have a close profile.
