What does Abraxas smell like?

Both its longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters suggest spring and summer, while winter is chosen by far fewer. Beyond leisure and daytime, it also gets votes for evenings and nights out. Voters read it as feminine more than anything, with classic and modern close behind.

It opens fresh and fruity with bergamot, peach and dried fruits. The heart is a floral crowd of ylang-ylang, tuberose, jasmine, narcissus and osmanthus, with a green, powdery edge. In the base, vetiver and cedar keep it grounded, while tonka bean, musk and amber leave it sweet and creamy.
