What does August (2013) smell like?
It opens with galbanum, mandarin orange, coriander and neroli, a green, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, lily of the valley, ISO-E-Super and fruits add a soft floral and fruity touch, and musk sits underneath. The accords also include synthetic and woody tones.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick leisure, daily wear and the office; evening and night out come further behind. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters call it feminine. Agatha Ruiz de la Prada Flor and Wackelwasser Wackelwasser Light have a close profile.
