What does Chemistry smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling a room. The sample is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is sold as a men's fragrance.

Citrus notes lead, with an aquatic, green freshness around them. Jamaican ginger adds a spicy warmth, while amber lays down a sweet, woody base. Floral and earthy touches stay in the background, with a slightly synthetic edge. Declaré dailyenergy and Zara Blueshape have a close profile.
