What does Prelude smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters wear it most for leisure and daily use, then for the office, though some take it into the evening and night out.

The notes read as one whole: iris, musk, ISO-E-Super and ambroxan. Among the accords, fresh and floral meet a sweet, powdery, creamy softness, while woody and spicy tones stay in the background and a synthetic, clean-air feel runs through it. Its profile is close to Bibliothèque de Parfum Nirvana and Harry Lehmann Musc Oil.
