What does MGO 2021 smell like?

Amber, sandalwood, benzoin and coconut form the backbone, while cedar, patchouli and frankincense deepen the woody, resinous side. A creamy sweetness is held in check by smoky and earthy tones, with floral and green touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits leisure, evenings and nights out. It leans somewhat masculine, though many voters read it as feminine. Ikiryō Damn Hippie and Hendley Perfumes Felt share a close profile.
