What does Escape the Ordinary smell like?
™.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Voters spread the seasons fairly evenly, with autumn and winter slightly ahead. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It doesn't commit to a masculine or feminine reading, and a modern character weighs most.
As a whole the scent runs along a woody line, with a fresh, floral air over it. Sweetness and a powdery, creamy softness balance the firm wood notes, while the spice stays in the background. Its synthetic edge leaves a clean, tidy impression. Escentric Molecules Molecule 04 and Corps Volatils Expanded Carbon have a close profile.
