What does Metal Wave smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it doesn't read as belonging to either.

Magnolia brings a floral, creamy softness, while juniper berry adds a fresh, lightly spicy edge. Papyrus gives a woody, powdery base. The sweetness stays in the background, and a synthetic sheen gives the whole a modern feel.
