What does Windsor smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters find the staying power high, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It reads as masculine.

The top is a bright mix of aldehydes, grapefruit, bergamot and apple. The heart turns warm and spicy with clove, saffron, cinnamon and cardamom, softened by rose, jasmine and violet. The base is woody and animalic, built on vetiver, amber, leather, tobacco and oud, with tonka bean and vanilla adding sweetness. Penhaligon's Halfeti and Nishane Nefs have a close profile.
