What does Porpora smell like?

Porpora is a strong scent, with strong longevity and sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, followed by spring; summer comes last. It is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, while some find it masculine.

The top opens with cinnamon, clove, raspberry and rose absolute, where spice and fruit gather over the rose. In the heart, frankincense, patchouli, Bulgarian rose and poppy add a floral, earthy weight. The base of benzoin, amber, myrrh and musk leaves it settling into a powdery, sweet resin.
