Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer not far behind and winter last. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and leaves a noticeable trail.
The top opens with mulberry, seawater, saffron and leather, while the heart brings hashish, copal resin and immortelle. The base of driftwood, ambergris, oud and moss settles the aquatic mood onto a woody, animal ground.
