What does Odeur 53 smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as a single whole. Fresh laundry, metal, oxygen and grass together give a sterile, airy impression, while nail polish and stone pull that cleanness in a synthetic, mineral direction. Fresh, floral and aquatic accords sit alongside a green and slightly smoky side.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings named most often. Votes split between masculine and feminine, which fits its unisex stance. Comme des Garçons Odeur 71 and Pryn Parfum Jardin d'Iris have a close profile.
