What does Itaca smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known on the skin without filling a room. Few people have voted, so treat those ratings as a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits wearers of any gender.

Davana opens the scent; the heart holds sea salt, labdanum and Turkish rose. The aquatic and green sides bring coolness, the rose adds a floral touch, and labdanum brings some sweetness and spice. In the base, patchouli, oud and oakmoss settle it onto a woody, earthy ground. Mugler Chyprissime and Ex Nihilo Rose Hubris have a close profile.
