What does Zubenel smell like?

The top holds Australian ambrette seed, frankincense and ambergris. In the heart, Bourbon vanilla and Italian dark chocolate come forward, with ambergris carrying on. The base of Australian sandalwood, Italian birch wood and Indian patchouli gives a woody footing, while Turkish caramel sweetens it.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a few votes back this up. Its dense, sweet and smoky build sits comfortably on both men and women. Xerjoff Kemi and Carolina Herrera Gold Incense have a close profile.
