What does 1970 smell like?

Saffron and May rose sit together from the first breath: a spicy warmth meeting a soft floral note. Benzoin gives the scent a creamy, sweet body, frankincense and myrrh add a resinous depth, and blond woods settle everything onto a dry, woody base.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it is noticed by those close to the wearer rather than filling a room. Voters pick it most often for evenings, followed by leisure time and nights out. Memo Paris Cappadocia and The Harmonist Sun Force have a close profile.
