What does The Architects Club smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is suggested about equally for leisure, daily wear, evenings and the office, and the feminine and masculine votes sit close together.

The top notes of lavender, lemon, bitter orange and juniper berry open green and fresh. In the heart, pink pepper, coriander seed and nutmeg add spice while orris brings a powdery softness. The base rests on vetiver, cedarwood and oak wood, with vanilla absolute sweetening it slightly. Byredo Gypsy Water (Eau de Parfum) and Profumum Roma Audace have a close profile.
