What does Sydney smell like?
It opens with aniseed, bergamot, marine notes and pineapple, which keep it bright and lightly fruity. In the heart, pink pepper, nutmeg, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch with some spice. The base of amberwood, cedar, musk and oakmoss gives it a woody, slightly powdery footing.
Both longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick leisure and daily wear most often, followed by the office. Its fresh, sweet character leans neither masculine nor feminine. Joop! Nightflight and Nikos Sculpture Homme have a close profile.
