What does Adoration (2019) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage both rate as good, and most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. It leans towards office and daytime wear, though it carries into the evening too. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere in between.

The top is fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy from bergamot and cardamom, with saffron adding warmth. In the heart, Tunisian rose and violet leaf bring a floral, green side. The base of Cambodian oud and patchouli settles the scent on a woody, earthy footing. Bois 1920 Sandalvia and Giorgio Armani Eau d'Arômes have a close profile.
