What does Astor Place smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange zest and violet leaf, light, green and bright. In the heart, poppy bud, orris root and freesia add a soft, powdery floral touch. Musk, amber and teakwood in the base settle it into a sweet, woody finish.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Marc Jacobs Pear and Bottega Profumiera InFlora have a close profile.
