What does Artek - Standard smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither projects far nor fades quickly. Most voters suggest spring and fall, and it carries comfortably in summer too. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions it leans towards. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine.

Lemon and fennel give it a fresh, green start. Saffron and ginger add spice, while cedarwood and musk build a woody, faintly smoky base. The synthetic and resinous accords give it a crisp, dry edge. Le Labo Citron 28 and Comme des Garçons Chalayan Airborne have a close profile.
