CreamyWhat does Keig smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. It leans towards warm weather and daytime, and rarely towards winter or nights out.
The top opens with lemon, lime and bergamot, giving a fresh, green citrus start. In the heart, cedarwood and sandalwood add a woody, creamy base with a spicy edge. Ambergris and musk in the base leave a soft, quiet finish.
