What does Sterling smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings deserve some caution. It sits between masculine and feminine and is worn as a unisex fragrance.

Green tea and clary sage give the top its freshness, and galbanum keeps the green note going in the heart. The base of vanilla, leather, myrrh, tonka bean and musk settles into a spicy, resinous, leathery warmth. Rasasi Junoon Velvet for Men and The Dua Brand Cuìr de Mìlano have a close profile.
