What does By Any Other Name smell like?

The overall impression is fresh and citrusy: bergamot adds brightness while peony and rose bring a soft floral note. Lychee adds a sweet, fruity touch, with a green edge alongside. Musk and cedarwood settle it onto a creamy, lightly woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and doesn't overwhelm. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Afnan Perfumes Floral Bouquet and Engelsrufer Aurora have a close profile.
