What does Silver Shadow Private smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It is named about equally for daytime, leisure and the office; most voters find it masculine, while some call it classic or modern.

It opens with citrus notes, bergamot and cardamom, bright and lightly spicy. In the heart, lavender, sesame and violet add a floral, slightly dry tone. Musk and leather in the base soften it and leave a leathery trace. Milton-Lloyd The Man Cobalt and Argos Perseus Triumphant have a close profile.
