Accendis Aclus opens with bergamot and lemon and settles into oud, gaiac wood and cypriol, a fruity, sweet and spicy unisex scent.
Aclus wears with strong longevity and good sillage, though both ratings rest on few votes, so treat them as a rough guide. Most voters pick winter and fall, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evening, leisure and night-out wear. Voters see it as slightly more masculine than feminine, with the two close together, so it moves easily between both.
The top is bright with bergamot and lemon. The heart brings cardamom, iris, tolu balm absolute and davana, where the spicy and sweet side comes forward. In the base, gaiac wood, oud, gurjum balsam and cypriol add a woody, resinous and smoky depth. The animal and creamy facets sit comfortably on that warm foundation.
