What does Stephen Jones smell like?

Jasmine, rose, violet and violet leaf form a floral, green frame, while black caraway and clove add a spicy edge. Gaiac wood and vetiver give a woody, smoky base, and heliotrope and amber bring a powdery softness. The synthetic and animal accords set it apart from more familiar florals.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and see it as a leisure, evening or night-out scent. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Balenciaga Florabotanica and Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons 2 have a close profile.
