What does Fuel for Life Spirit smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind and summer the least chosen. Night outs and evenings lead, and leisure wear comes up often too. It reads masculine and modern.

The opening pairs the freshness of grapefruit and bergamot with the warmth of cinnamon. In the heart, orange blossom, iris and geranium add a soft, slightly powdery floral touch. The base of myrrh, labdanum, frankincense and amberwood anchors it in a woody, oriental sweetness, with a fruity, gourmand edge throughout.
