What does Concrete smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer and winter equal. It is chosen most for leisure and daily wear, and it suits the office too. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it leans neither way.

Fresh and floral accords lead, with a sweet, fruity side. The spices are clear at the start before jasmine sambac and rose oxide take over. Cedarwood, sandalwood and musk settle underneath, giving a woody, powdery and creamy softness, along with a synthetic edge.
