What does Cruz del Sur I smell like?

Bergamot, grapefruit and rum give a bright but nearly sweet start. In the heart, dried fruits warm up with cinnamon and cumin, while cedarwood adds a woody frame. The base of myrrh, labdanum, leathery notes and castoreum pulls it toward a smoky, leathery, animalic character.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out, rarely for daytime or the office. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine. The Dua Brand Desire I and Amouage Overture Man have a close profile.
