What does Full Moon over the Desert smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long time without projecting far. It is marketed as a men's scent, and those who rated it find the value for money high.

As a whole it runs green, fruity and sweet. Bergamot and pink pepper give it a bright, spicy lift, while caramel adds sweetness. Iris brings a powdery, creamy softness, and the leather sits alongside woody and smoky tones to give a warm, resinous depth. Evernyl ties it together with a clean, synthetic edge. Zara True Leather Men and Zara Extreme 6.0 have a close profile.
