What does Evolution smell like?

The top is bergamot, oregano and spices, giving a green, slightly fruity and sharp spicy start. In the heart, amber, opoponax and labdanum sweeten it and add a resinous warmth. In the base, oud, patchouli, leather and smoke take over, settling into a woody, smoky, leathery oriental character.

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, and voters score its value for money highly. The number of votes is small, so this picture is tentative. With its dense, smoky build it suits men and women alike. Afnan Supremacy Incense and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Abyad have a close profile.
