What does Book smell like?

The top notes open cool with bergamot and eucalyptus, while Virginia cedar and rosewood lay down a woody frame. In the heart, amyris, amber and Nootka cypress add a spicy, earthy depth. The base of musk, velvet and sandalwood settles everything onto a soft, creamy ground.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure, daily and business wear lead the occasions. It leans slightly masculine, though a good share of voters call it feminine. Zoologist Elephant and Frassaï El Descanso have a close profile.
