What does 450 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Frankincense, nutmeg, pepper and sage lead at the top, while musky notes and iris turn that spice powdery in the heart. Sandalwood and vetiver settle underneath as a woody base. The floral and sweet accords stay in the background rather than overriding the spice.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it sits closest to leisure, daily and office wear. Nearly half of voters read it as feminine, though a fair share find it masculine. Place des Lices 1900 and Atkinsons Gold Fair in Mayfair have a close profile.
