What does Liquid Crystal smell like?

Citrus and spice lead the opening: Sicilian orange and bergamot give a fresh start, while absinth and clove sharpen it. Frankincense, lavender and patchouli form the heart, and cedarwood, vetiver, labdanum, tonka bean and white amber settle it into a woody, powdery, mildly sweet base.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. Amouage Sunshine Man and Marni Marni have a close profile.
