What does Gemini smell like?
The top notes are aldehydes and saffron, followed by juniper and pistachio in the heart. The base leans on vetiver, oud, ambergris and styrax. It moves from a fresh, green start into a spicy, resinous, smoky and woody structure, with floral and sweet touches softening it.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good, though with few votes this reading is tentative. Its oriental, woody character keeps it comfortably unisex. Ormonde Jayne 2. Nawab of Oudh Parfum and Montale Aoud Musk have a close profile.
