What does Adonis smell like?

It opens fresh and green with bergamot and peppermint. In the heart, vanilla, tonka bean and ambroxan turn it creamy and gourmand. The base of cedarwood, patchouli, white musk and sandalwood adds a woody, slightly resinous footing, with a spicy touch alongside.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, night out and evening wear. Hiram Green Arbolé and Harry Lehmann Goldlack have a close profile.
