What does Meandering Soul smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it is noticed nearby without dominating a room. The number of voters is small, which makes this a rough guide rather than a firm measure. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women.

It starts with Hinoki wood and Spanish fennel, then moves to French narcissus, cinnamon and Madagascan ylang-ylang. Caramel and tobacco form the base, and the woody, smoky character is softened by a sweet warmth. Buly Sumi Hinoki and Jo Malone Hinoki & Cedarwood have a close profile.
