Anima Mundi Īśvara opens on lime, saffron and Sri Lankan nutmeg and settles onto Java vetiver and benzoin, a unisex scent that ties citrus and spice to a woody, resinous base.

What does Īśvara smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters pick fall and winter. Night outs and evenings lead, though it also works for leisure time. It reads somewhat masculine, yet a fair share of voters call it feminine.

The top pairs lime and bergamot freshness with saffron and nutmeg spice. In the heart, Chinese and Egyptian geranium add a soft floral note, rounded by cashmere. The base of vetiver, patchouli and amber turns earthy, smoky and sweet. Armani Privé Rose d'Arabie and Moresque White Duke have a close profile.
