What does Tempest (Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer chosen less often. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also suits leisure wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number call it classic.

The top notes of lemon, bergamot, ginger and lavender give a fresh, spicy start. Towards the heart, Indian jasmine sambac, rose and Atlas cedar add a floral, woody softness. In the base, white oud, amber, vetiver and musk leave a warm, resinous trail with an animal edge. Giardino Benessere Herà and Xerjoff Luna have a close profile.
