What does Borealis smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, while winter is chosen by only a few. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, with fewer votes for nights out.

Bergamot and neroli give it a bright, citrusy start. Rosemary and geranium carry the green side, and galbanum makes that greenness sharper and more resinous. Sandalwood and vetiver lay down a woody base, so the scent stays clean rather than heavy. Ermenegildo Zegna Italian Bergamot and Roger & Gallet L'Homme Vétyver have a close profile.
