What does 1976 smell like?

Voters find its longevity good and its sillage moderate. Most pick spring and summer, with fall close behind, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number call it feminine.

The top notes of bergamot, lemon, birch leaf and black pepper give a citrusy, green, lightly spicy start. The heart holds lavender, jasmine, vetiver and juniper, with the floral side staying in the background. Musk, patchouli and amber in the base soften it as it dries. Boadicea the Victorious Oxford and Creed Vetiver Geranium have a close profile.
