What does Veil / Nebula 3 smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small. Voters pick it most for leisure, nights out and the office, and they call its character masculine and feminine in almost equal measure, so it sits between the two.
Lemon, lavender and ginger bring freshness and a light spice. Geranium, chamomile, iris and violet add a soft floral side, while patchouli and amber give a sweet, earthy depth. Metallic and mineral notes lend a cool, synthetic sheen. Armaf Dubai Nights Midnight and Philipp Plein No Limit$ Gold have a close profile.
