What does Inquisitive smell like?

It opens with a citrus freshness from bergamot and orange, and the galbanum at the heart adds a sharp, green edge. The base is led by cistus, cedarwood, oud and labdanum, so the scent settles into a woody, resinous, earthy and smoky structure, with spicy and animal tones rounding out its rough texture.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening or on a night out. Votes lean towards a masculine, classic character. Pioneer and Explorer have a close profile.
