OrientalWhat does Tethys smell like?
The top pairs jasmine, coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla; in the heart, amber, jasmine and Damask rose carry the floral side. The base of patchouli, musk, cedar and vanilla settles it onto a woody, powdery ground, and the sweetness never fully retreats.
Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, with longevity rated 8.4 out of ten. It suits anyone who likes dense, sweet, gourmand fragrances, and it wears comfortably on men and women alike. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) and Rochas Rochas Man (Eau de Toilette) share a close profile.
