What does Journaliste smell like?
It opens bright and green, with petitgrain and mandarin orange. Cardamom and ginger bring spice to the heart, and oakmoss with tonka bean then settle it onto an earthy, woody base with a light sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a calm, close trail. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear and leisure are the most chosen occasions. More voters call it masculine, though a good number find it feminine.
