What does Chaos (2008) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits evenings best, followed by daily wear and leisure. More voters read it as feminine, though a noticeable share call it masculine.

Amber and musk build a sweet, powdery base. Chamomile and lavender soften it, sage and coriander add a spicy edge, and exotic woods carry the woody, earthy side. The result feels resinous and oriental.
