What does Ode smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small, so treat that with some caution. It reads masculine.

The top has ginger, saffron, strawberry and cumin: a fresh, spicy start with a touch of fruitiness from the strawberry. The heart turns powdery and floral with iris, rose and cistus. The base of vetiver, patchouli, oud and cedarwood adds a woody, oriental footing. Le Labo Rose 31 and M. Micallef Rose Aoud have a close profile.
