What does Lake Bottom smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards autumn, spring and winter over summer, and pick it most often for leisure and evenings. Opinion is split evenly on whether it reads masculine or feminine.
Ylang-ylang's floral side drifts green through galbanum and violet leaf. Oak wood, vetiver, patchouli and cypriol lay an earthy, woody floor, while frankincense and moss add a resinous, damp air. Artemisia and arnica absolute bring a spicy, faintly bitter note, and musk softens the whole.
