What does Philosophy smell like?

Amber, labdanum, frankincense and elemi resin build a warm, resinous frame. Thyme, absinthe wormwood and pink pepper carry the green and spicy side, while vetiver adds dry woodiness; rum and ambrette bring a soft, sweet tone.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads open to both.
