What does 1962 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer also well represented and winter trailing behind. It leans towards business and daily wear, and also works in the evening. Voters lean towards masculine, with a classic feel.

The opening of spearmint, green mandarin orange, bergamot and clove is cool and spicy. In the heart, lily of the valley, cypress, jasmine and basil keep the floral and green side going. In the base, cedarwood, musk, moss and amber settle the scent on a powdery, earthy, woody footing. Penhaligon's Jubilee Bouquet and Sisley Eau de Campagne / Country Water have a close profile.
