What does Series 6: Synthetic - Skai smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though winter has its share. Leisure and daily wear get the most votes, with office use further behind. Most voters read it as masculine, though some call it feminine.

The accords are synthetic, fresh and sweet. Grapefruit and cardamom bring a bright, spicy lift, while sandalwood lays a woody base. Suede and labdanum pull that base towards leathery, smoky and slightly sweet.
