What does Explorer smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen most for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Over half of voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic.

It opens with orange and bergamot. Orris butter, helianthemum and amber form the heart, and cedarwood with labdanum settles at the base. Smoky and leathery touches harden the green, earthy air. Boadicea the Victorious Inquisitive and Eolie Abraxas have a close profile.
