What does Camel smell like?

Camel's longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter and suggest evenings and nights out; it is picked far less for the office or for summer. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though many see it as feminine.

It opens with date palm, frankincense, rose and dried fruits. The heart is led by incense, amber, cinnamon, myrrh and cedar. The base brings tonka bean, vanilla, oud and animalic musk, leaving a fruity, resinous warmth with a faint animal edge.
