What does Io Myself smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring in second place. Evening, leisure and night-out wear are the occasions it suits best. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters call it masculine more often than anything else, though a sizeable share also find it feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange and lemon, then moves into Turkish rose absolute, saffron and cedarwood. The base is dominated by oud, Honduras styrax, amber, papyrus, labdanum and musk, and it settles into a resinous, woody sweetness with a touch of smoke.
