What does Classic Opoponax smell like?

Rose and jasmine open with a light floral touch, then opoponax, sandalwood and benzoin form a warm, resinous heart. In the base, vanilla, amber and patchouli sweeten the scent over an earthy ground, while castoreum adds an animal depth. The overall impression is sweet, spicy, woody and powdery.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out draw the most votes. Masculine and feminine votes are almost evenly split. Fragonard Rêve Indien and Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 have a close profile.
