Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Daily wear, leisure and business are the top occasions. Voters mostly call its character masculine and classic.
It opens with lemon, bergamot, neroli, galbanum and petitgrain, a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, geranium, narcissus, violet, rose, iris, sage and mimosa add a floral, powdery softness. Vetiver, cedar, tonka bean, almond and oakmoss then dry it down to an earthy, woody chypre-fougère feel.
