What does Charlston smell like?

Charlston's longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer trailing behind. It suits business, leisure and daily wear, and works for evenings and nights out too. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, with classic and modern sides together. It has been discontinued.

The opening of bergamot, orange, lavender and neroli is citrusy and floral. In the heart, nutmeg, ylang-ylang, grapefruit and Turkish rose add a spicy, fruity softness. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, musk and oakmoss settle it into a dry, woody chypre.
