What does Mastin smell like?

The top is built on cardamom, rose, saffron and white oud. In the heart, orange blossom, iris and jasmine add a floral layer, while cedarwood and white woods give it a woody floor. The base leans on oud, sand, ambergris, musk and black woods, with a spicy, smoky, resinous and animalic edge running through the floral and green tones.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative picture. With its oriental, woody character, it sits comfortably on both men and women.
