What does Gloam smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a close, easygoing trail. Most voters pick fall and spring, with evening and leisure the occasions named most often. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

It starts with orange blossom, pink pepper and cardamom, which bring a floral freshness and a little spice. The heart of jasmine sambac, saffron and mimosa keeps the floral side going, and the base of iris, copaiba balsam and patchouli settles into a woody, resinous, earthy ground. Green and spicy tones run through it from start to finish.
