What does Ursa smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, nutmeg, dried fruits and rum, giving spice and a touch of sweetness. In the heart, frankincense, vetiver, patchouli and tobacco turn it smoky, earthy and resinous. In the base, vanilla softens the edges while oud and leather keep a woody, leathery weight.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and almost none suggest summer. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. It leans masculine, though it reads as unisex. Tigha The Dark Side and LM Parfums Hard Leather have a close profile.
