What does New Tradition (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top is a bright citrus lift of lemon, lavender and bergamot. The heart adds a floral, spicy layer with rose, iris, clove and ylang-ylang, and the base of vetiver, patchouli and musk sets the scent on a woody, earthy ground. A fresh, green character runs through it from start to finish.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office are the leading occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably on either. Claus Porto 2 - Agua Geranium and Creed Bois du Portugal have a close profile.
