What does Sahara smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, while summer comes last. Evenings and nights out lead, and office wear is rarely chosen. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with orange, elemi resin and saffron, and rose and orange blossom give the heart a soft floral touch. In the base, amber, vanilla, cedar and musk gather, and the scent settles into a sweet, creamy, resinous warmth.
