What does Samarkande (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with winter, summer and spring close behind. Daily wear and business settings lead, while leisure and evening are also named.

Basil and lavender give it a crisp, green feel. Ginger brings the spice and cedarwood the dry woodiness. Patchouli and geranium add an earthy, slightly powdery depth, with oriental and leathery tones in the background. Tom Ford Beau de Jour and Cartier Must de Cartier pour Homme Essence have a close profile.
