What does Principalities smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, so it lingers and makes itself known. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter close behind. Leisure and evening wear lead; more voters call it masculine or modern than feminine.

Almond biscuit, ylang-ylang and violet bring a soft, floral sweetness. Against them stand leather, ash, gun powder, metal and petrichor, which push it towards the smoky and earthy. Galbanum adds a green freshness, while saffron and chili carry the spice.
