How does it perform?
From 35 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Most voters pick fall, then winter, and it is often chosen for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters read it as slightly more masculine, yet it suits anyone.
It opens with suede, and in the heart patchouli and frankincense add a resinous weight. The base of ambroxan, sandalwood, vetiver, cistus and Siam benzoin brings a sweet, spicy, earthy woodiness. It shares a close profile with Amouage Interlude Man and Profumum Roma Patchouly.
