What does Aethereus smell like?

It opens with orange, lemon and bergamot for citrus freshness, while coconut sorbet and bamboo add a green, fruity lightness. The heart brings tuberose, ylang-ylang and white rose, soft and floral. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and cedarwood sweeten the scent and leave a woody, slightly powdery trail.

Most voters pick summer and spring, with leisure and evening wear leading. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Slightly more voters call it feminine than masculine, though both groups are sizeable, so it sits between the two. Ulrich Lang Anvers 2 and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lys Soleia have a close profile.
