What does Washington Square smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Feminine is the most common character vote, though a fair number of voters call it masculine.

The notes pair tarragon, Italian bergamot, geranium and purple rose, with honey and amber softening the sweetness, while leather, vetiver and musk pull the balance towards a drier, smokier tone. The spicy, green texture keeps the floral side light.
