What does Decade smell like?

The opening leads with rose, bergamot and saffron, while pineapple and aldehydes lighten it and keep it lively. In the heart, May rose, geranium and violet carry the floral and green character on. Patchouli, white musk, cypriol, gaiac wood and amber then settle it onto a woody, spicy, earthy base.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and voters spread their picks across leisure, daytime, evening, nights out and even business wear. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Dua Brand Decennium and Jo Malone Rose & Magnolia have a close profile.
