What does Deserta smell like?

Amber and vanilla give it a sweet, creamy warmth, while cedar and patchouli balance that with a woody, resinous tone. Soil and the solar note lend a dry, sun-warmed feel, and the oriental character stays up front.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is mostly worn for leisure, evenings and nights out. It leans masculine in character but reads as unisex. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan (Eau de Parfum) and Tom Ford Oud Wood Parfum have a close profile.
