What does Abstract smell like?

It opens with frankincense, vetiver and rhubarb, which give it a green, earthy start. In the heart, rose and tonka bean sweeten the floral side and add a creamy softness. Sandalwood, cedar, leather and amber dominate the base, settling it onto a woody, smoky, leathery ground, with spicy and sweet tones staying in the background.

Most voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough picture. It suits men and women alike, and its dense woody and leathery character is easier to wear on cooler days. Rue Broca L'Alliance Stellar and Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade have a close profile.
