Very warm, natural-smelling amber, incense, and spices. This melts into skin and just becomes this spicy, musky fantasma trailing behind you. I actually love the "pencil shaving" accord, it gives a nice dry, woody backbone to what otherwise might veer too sweet for me. I see the comparisons to Benjoin Boheme--similar vibe for sure-- but Caftan feels less dense and sticky. BB felt more resinous and sweet, chewy almost, and sometimes leaned cloying. Caftan wears like its name, light enrobing layers billowing gently around you. Don't mistake this for lack of performance though; Caftan is quietly tenacious and gives you a solid scent bubble. Bohemian, earthy, yet softly sweet and musky. Such a shame this was discontinued and is now listed for resale at outrageous prices (even more insane than standard YSL MSRP). At first, I didn't love this. It was not an 'overpowering' smell, but I surely thought someone with a little pride would enjoy wearing it. On the tester card, it smelled like it did from the nozzle, amber with spices, now paired with bourbon. Not the 'spicy amber' I imagined. The smell was consistent for about 5 hours (18°) until it changed to a much more musky, animalistic resin with 'mute' bourbon. Similar to how a woodfire bar that specialises in bourbon would be if you could only smell it, not taste it. I enjoyed this musky scent much more. The animalistic scent wasn't anything bodily but similar to fur and blended well with the resin. Warm and oud-like fragrance but not too heavy. Definitely one of my favorite YSL fragrances. Got this as a present and wish I could get another bottle. Sophisticated, mature, deep but not heavy. I wish this has more projection and didn’t have the pink...
