What does Hope smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out, and reads slightly more masculine than feminine.

The top opens with orange zest, juniper and pink pepper. In the heart, cypress, black pepper, frankincense, cedarwood and thyme build a spicy, resinous woodiness. The base of vetiver, cypriol, candied orange and amber softens it and adds sweetness.
