What does Tokyo smell like?

It opens with wasabi, black pepper and cardamom, while yuzu and bergamot keep the spice fresh. In the heart, orris root, cedarwood and hinoki cypress lead, with rose and frankincense staying in the background. The base of vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli leaves a green, woody, slightly smoky trail, and amber sweetens it gently.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Most voters read it as masculine, though it wears easily as a unisex scent. Marni Marni and Xerjoff Torino23 have a close profile.
