What does Taurus smell like?

It opens with clover, bergamot zest and ginger, where citrus brightness is held in check by a light spicy edge. In the heart, amyris, freesia and cashmere wood add a soft floral and woody touch, and the base of musk, amber and vegetal amber dries down on a warm, earthy footing.

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so this should be read with caution. Its fresh build suits everyday wear, and it reads masculine.
