What does Uncut Gem smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer next, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Voters mainly see it as masculine, with classic and modern close behind.

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot, ginger and nutmeg, fresh, citrusy and spicy. The heart turns resinous and leathery with magnolia, leather, labdanum and frankincense, while vetiver carries the green side. The base of Ambrocenide® and musk leaves a woody, synthetic trail.
