What does Pinnace smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer, then spring; it leans towards daily wear, leisure and sport, and it sits comfortably at the office too. Voters mostly call it masculine or modern, though a fair number find it feminine.

It opens with grapefruit and orange for brightness. In the heart, mint and blackcurrant add a green, fruity note while the aquatic side keeps things cool. Musk and ambroxan in the base soften it, and it dries down with a light sweetness. Armaf Odyssey Aqua and Khadlaj Island Dreams have a close profile.
