What does Volkswagen - Mémoire de Pētrole smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out the favoured occasions, though spring and leisure wear also get votes. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it can swing either way. It has been discontinued.

The scent is fresh and floral, with iris and green violet keeping it powdery and slightly sweet. Leather and pepper give it a spicy, leathery backbone, while the fuel note adds an earthy, faintly synthetic edge. Woody and oriental accents soften the harder texture.
