What does iO - Ce que je suis smell like?

It opens spicy with cardamom, paramela and Guinea pepper. The heart turns floral and green with ylang-ylang, magnolia, rose, petitgrain and geranium. In the base, labdanum, myrrh and Indian white sandalwood sit alongside the smoky Bushman candle and Peruvian palo santo.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring has a share too. Leisure and evening wear are its most common uses. Voters lean toward calling it masculine, but a good number find it feminine. Urania Lance of Love and Fūm Winter Crocus have a close profile.
