What does Lavender on the Rocks smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn third and winter well behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office get the most votes. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. On character, masculine leads slightly, with feminine close behind.

It opens with rose and basil. Geranium and lavender absolute form the heart, keeping the freshness green and floral. In the base, oud, gaiac wood and saffron settle it onto a woody, spicy footing.
