ChypreWhat does Exit the King smell like?
Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter the least chosen. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way.
It opens with Nepalese sichuan pepper, pink pepper and aldehydes, a bright, spicy start softened by musk. The heart brings jasmine, rose and lily of the valley, adding a green floral note. The base of sandalwood, patchouli and moss absolute sets a woody chypre foundation, joined by Orcanox.
