What does George smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer not far behind, and it suits business, leisure and daytime wear. Feminine and masculine votes are nearly even, so it sits between the two.

It opens with Persian galbanum, cannabis and violet leaf absolute, sharp and green. Iris, jasmine and rose bring a floral, powdery softness to the heart, and oakmoss in the base sets the chypre frame. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and Dior Miss Dior have a close profile.
