What does XVII: Baroque - Siberian Pine smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest spring and fall, with summer close behind. Leisure, business and evening wear draw similar votes, and voters split evenly between classic and modern. It has been discontinued.

It opens with pink pepper, mandarin orange, lemon, neroli and bergamot for a bright citrus start. The heart brings geranium, orange blossom, jasmine, cardamom and pine needle, with coriander and lavender adding a spicy, green edge. Patchouli, cedar, oakmoss, musk and ambergris settle into a woody, resinous base.
