What does Andraste smell like?

The opening is cool and spicy, with Lapsang Souchong tea, thyme, lemon and eucalyptus, softened by saffron and bergamot. The heart turns floral and soft with jasmine, Lady Emma Hamilton rose, honeysuckle and orris root. The base settles into a smoky, woody ground of incense, vetiver, leather and gaiac wood, with musk rounding it quietly.

Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Its fresh and woody balance reads as unisex. Atkinsons Lavender on the Rocks and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza have a close profile.
