Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings, leisure time and nights out leading the occasions. It reads mostly masculine, with a classic side too.
It opens with cardamom, pepper and ginger for a spicy warmth, joined by elemi resin. In the heart, myrrh, frankincense, rose and mimosa make a soft, resinous transition. The base of cedarwood, labdanum, patchouli and benzoin settles into a woody, smoky and sweet foundation.
