What does Cologne Indélébile smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: citrus leads, narcissus and orange blossom add a green, floral edge, and white musk softens everything. A spicy accent sits quietly in the background.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring and summer, and very few choose winter. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine. Guerlain Un Dimanche à la Campagne and Mugler Cologne have a close profile.
