Utique Ruby is a unisex fragrance that opens floral and turns sweet and oriental, with vanilla, resin and wood.
Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring; summer is almost never chosen. It gets the most votes for a night out and for evenings, and it also works for leisure. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it reads as truly in between.
The top notes are jasmine, cistus and cashmere wood, giving a floral start with a resinous, woody depth. In the heart, vanilla, balsamic notes and amberwood sweeten it into a gourmand warmth. The base of black musk, white oud and dry woods sets a woody, spicy foundation. Armaf Club de Nuit Uńtōld and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Brown) have a close profile.
