What does Lineage smell like?

It opens with Sichuan pepper, saffron and ginger in a sharp, spicy start, while Peruvian pepper tree pulls it towards green. In the heart, frankincense, fenugreek and myrrh give it a resinous, smoky body. The base settles on patchouli, vetiver, benzoin and labdanum, a woody footing softened by the fresh, aquatic side.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear taking the most votes and business not far behind. Masculine and feminine votes are level, so it sits in the middle of the gender line. Trudon Mortel Noir and Mendittorosa Archetipo have a close profile.
