What does Always Now smell like?

Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it suits anyone who wants a light scent that stays close to the skin. Daytime, leisure and office wear lead the votes, while evening and night out are chosen far less.

The top is led by orange, green mandarin and basil, with ginger adding a sharp edge. In the heart, petitgrain, mint and neroli push the citrus towards green and floral. The base of musk, vetiver and cedar wood leaves it clean and woody. Zara Vibrant Leather Summer and Acorelle Verveine Agrume have a close profile.
