What does The Chronic smell like?

It opens with pepper and cinnamon, then deepens into patchouli, leather and amber at the heart. White musk and sandalwood soften the base. Fruity, floral and creamy touches stay in the background of a woody, oriental frame.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, spring is not far behind, and summer is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out. Voters read it most often as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.
