Most voters pick winter and fall for Bronze, and it leans towards leisure time, evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex too.
Jasmine, cedar, patchouli, tobacco, black pepper and hay run together in the scent. A floral and green base is softened by sweetness, while the spice and wood give it an earthy, lightly smoky feel.
