What does Antique Brown smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, and it is picked more often for evenings and nights out. More voters read it as masculine, though its modern side stands out too.

It carries a fruity, spicy sweetness: apple and bergamot add some freshness while coconut water softens it. Praliné and vanilla give a creamy gourmand side, and honey and amber lay down a warm, oriental base. Parfums d'Elmar Zaya and Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Mâle have a close profile.
