What does Sebastian smell like?

The notes come together as a single whole rather than separate layers. The creamy, floral Indian tuberose meets the warm woodiness of sandalwood, vanilla sweetens it all, and immortelle absolute adds a spicy, oriental edge. The powdery side keeps the overall impression soft.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night outs and evenings leading, though it also works for leisure time. Voters mostly find it feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Loewe Un Paseo por Madrid - Ópera en el Teatro Real and Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier² (2022) have a close profile.
