What does Nantucket Briar (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further back. Daily and leisure wear lead, while office and evening use are not far behind. Most see it as feminine, though a fair number call it classic. It has been discontinued.

It opens with bergamot, carnation and citrus notes for a fresh start. The heart of peony, hydrangea, jasmine and eglantine rose gives it a floral, garden feel. In the base, amber, vanilla, spices and patchouli sweeten it and settle it into something warm and slightly woody.
