What does Search smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Voters place its character closer to masculine, though it is described as unisex.
The top notes of mandarin orange, lemon and lime give a bright citrus opening. In the heart, elemi resin, black pepper and Omani green frankincense bring a spicy, resinous feel. Vetiver, gaiac wood and cade juniper leave a woody, smoky trail at the base.
