What does White Plumage / Paradox smell like?

It opens fresh and green with juniper, cypress and orange, while frankincense adds a resinous, smoky edge. In the heart, oud, cedarwood and lily join woody and floral sides, with sandalwood and neroli smoothing the transition. In the base, white musk, milk and benzoin settle it into a powdery, creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, though spring and summer follow close behind. It leans towards leisure and business wear, with evening use not far off. Feminine and masculine votes are nearly even, so it sits comfortably between the two.
