Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards night outs and evenings. Most read it as feminine, though some call it classic or masculine.
Cardamom and orange blossom open it with a spicy floral note. In the heart, oud, leather and Bulgarian rose dominate, giving a woody, smoky, leathery weight. In the base, dry woods, saffron and vanilla sweeten it and settle into a resinous warmth. Roberto Cavalli Oud Edition and Kajal Yasmina have a close profile.
