What does dear empathy smell like?

It wears at a moderate level for both longevity and sillage. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Leisure, business and daily wear are the most common occasions. Feminine and masculine votes sit very close together, so it doesn't lean clearly either way.

It opens cool and green with grass, geranium, lavender and chamomile. The heart brings elemi resin, Bulgarian rose and osmanthus for a soft floral note. The base of Atlas cedar, Indian sandalwood, amyris and labdanum adds a woody, slightly resinous ground.
