How does it perform?
From 122 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Mortel smell like?
It opens with the sharp warmth of black pepper and pimento; in the heart, Mystikal® and Somalian frankincense add a resinous depth. In the base, cistus absolute, myrrh and benzoin soften and sweeten it, while the fresh accord lightens the weight.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure time and evenings, and voters read it as more masculine. Arte Profumi Samharam and Lorenzo Villoresi Incensi have a close profile.
