CreamyWhat does Generation(s) smell like?
It opens with pear, frankincense and pink pepper: the pear brings a fruity freshness, the pepper a light lift. Fig carries the green, sweet heart, and the base of tonka bean, sandalwood and musk settles it into a creamy, woody finish.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring and summer, and see it as suited to leisure, daily wear and the office. The feminine vote is the largest, but modern and masculine votes are also present, so it doesn't sit firmly on one side. Arquinesia Fig and Van Cleef & Arpels Santal Blanc have a close profile.
