What does Speakeasy smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, while summer gets the smallest share. Leisure and evening wear lead, and it works for the office too. More voters call it masculine, but a good number read it as feminine.

It opens with orange and lime citrus warmed by rum, and davana adds a soft, fruity touch. Mint and geranium in the heart keep it fresh with a floral edge. As it dries, tobacco, tonka bean, labdanum and styrax pull it towards a gourmand, resinous, leathery warmth, with white musk softening the base into powder.
