What does 1988 smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a close but noticeable trail. With few votes behind these ratings, they point to a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It reads comfortably on both men and women.
It opens with galbanum, blackcurrant and bergamot in front, while lemon and grapefruit brighten the top. At the heart, rose, rosemary, thyme and jasmine balance floral and herbal tones. The base rests on vetiver and sandalwood, softened by musk and amber.
