What does Neuwagen smell like?

Neuwagen is rated strong for both longevity and sillage. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Use is spread across leisure, business and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it classic or modern.

It starts with varnish, ozone and pepper, which feel sharp, glossy and spicy. At the heart, violet, plastic and lily of the valley give a floral but artificial note. The base of saffron, patchouli, cedarwood, musk and leather settles into a creamy, smoky, woody warmth, and the whole stays sweet and synthetic.
