What does R.E.M. smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. It leans towards daily wear and leisure time, and suits evenings too. Most voters read it as feminine, though a good number call it modern.

The top opens with fig, marshmallow, salted caramel and quince. In the heart, lavender and pear blossom keep it fresh and floral. The base of white musk, sandalwood and tonka bean settles into a powdery, creamy, woody warmth.
