What does Aurum smell like?

Aurum wears with strong longevity and good sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring follows, and summer is the least favoured season. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Votes on whether it reads masculine or feminine split almost evenly.

The opening of Brazilian orange, lemon and Calabrian bergamot is bright and fruity, softened by Bulgarian rose. In the heart, Omani frankincense, labdanum, cistus, chocolate and strawberry build a resinous, sweet warmth. The base of oud, heliotrope, Singapore patchouli, oakmoss and Bourbon vanilla leaves a creamy, woody and slightly animalic trail. Kemi Aurum and Xerjoff Ether have a close profile.
