What does Series 1: Leaves - Calamus smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn further behind and winter chosen rarely. Leisure, daily and business wear lead, while evening gets little support. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Masculine and feminine votes are almost evenly split, which fits its gender-neutral character.

Celery seed and angelica build a green, lightly spicy backbone, bamboo adds a dry, woody freshness, and red berries soften the edges. Powdery and earthy shades sit in the background, and a cool synthetic feel ties it together.
