What does Verdigris smell like?

Thyme and violet leaf give it a green, herbal feel, while cardamom and spices warm it slightly. The ice accord and aldehydes add coolness and brightness, and titanium brings a cold, metallic edge. Woody and resinous sides stay in the background, with a synthetic touch running through it.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters mostly suggest leisure, daily wear and the office, with night out and evening close behind. Dsquared² Original Wood and Andrea Maack Craft have a close profile.
