What does High Line smell like?

It opens cool and green with bergamot, purple lovegrass and Indian rhubarb. The heart carries the floral side through tulip, muscari, redleaf rose and orange blossom water, while the citrus and sweet accords soften the clean feel. The base of Irish moss, musk, teakwood and bur oak adds a light woody footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. More voters call it feminine, though a good number read it as masculine. Bond No. 9 Madison Square Park and Kilian Imperial Tea have a close profile.
