What does Quiproquo smell like?

It wears with good longevity and moderate sillage, staying fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter far behind. It is mostly chosen for leisure, work and everyday wear. Though released as a women's perfume, voters split between reading it feminine and masculine.

Bergamot, lemon and orange give a citrus brightness, joined by the green, spicy tones of lavender and marjoram, with clove and geranium sharpening the edges. Patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss build the chypre frame, while sandalwood, cedar, rosewood and frankincense add a dry, woody, resinous base with a leathery touch.
