What does Debaser (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter a distant fourth. Leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Votes on masculine versus feminine are almost evenly split, so it reads comfortably unisex.

It opens with bergamot, leaf green and pear stem, a juicy, crisp start. In the heart, fig, iris and coconut milk soften the green and add a creamy sweetness. The base of moss, white musk, blond woods and tonka bean dries down woody and slightly powdery. Arquinesia Fig and Diptyque Philosykos have a close profile.
