What does My Shadow on the Wall smell like?

It opens with bergamot, Madagascan ginger and black pepper, light and lightly spiced. The heart of frankincense, violet leaf absolute and mimosa absolute brings a green, powdery floral note. In the base, Bourbon vanilla, musk and sandalwood soften everything into a creamy sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It is unisex, though most voters read it as feminine. Its profile is close to Etro Jacquard and Gucci Tears of Iris.
