What does Sail smell like?

It opens with aquatic notes and eucalyptus, with jasmine, geranium and white thyme in the heart. Patchouli, tonka bean and white musk soften the base. A fresh, floral and green character leads, while the spicy and woody touches stay in the background.

Most voters suggest summer and spring, and it is picked for leisure, daily wear and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though it can be worn as a unisex scent. Axe Marine and Maiora Parfum Tempesta di Mare have a close profile.
