Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it makes itself known. Voters tend to read it as masculine and modern, and rarely pick it for summer.
The character is fruity and sweet, with cherry, mandarin orange and davana at the top. Patchouli, rose and black violet make up the heart, settling into tonka bean and styrax. Synthetic, spicy, creamy and smoky tones add an edge and a leathery feel to the sweetness.
