What does Second Skin / Вторая кожа smell like?

Oakmoss, patchouli and sandalwood lay an earthy base, while jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang bring heavy floral tones over it. Tobacco, cognac and labdanum add a spicy, resinous, slightly animal warmth, and vanilla softens it.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards night-out and evening wear, with leisure use close behind. It reads unisex. Montale Oudrising and Anna Zworykina Revenge have a close profile.
