What does Vita Nova smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Fall draws the most votes, followed by winter and spring, with summer well behind. Most voters see it as a leisure or daytime scent, with some support for evenings and the office.

Elemi resin, caraway and black pepper open it spicy and resinous. In the heart, juniper, pink pepper and clove keep that peppery line going. In the base, cedarwood gives a woody frame, vanilla softens it with sweetness, and white musk settles everything into a clean, light finish.
