What does Ambition smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither projects far nor fades quickly. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure time, evenings and nights out, and can also be worn to work. It reads as masculine and modern.

It opens with ginger and frankincense, and smoke, clove and cinnamon give the heart a spiced warmth. In the base, vetiver, leather, musk and amber build a woody, leathery, resinous ground. Green and synthetic accents add a cool, sharp edge. Olfattology Olifant and Rammstein Benzin have a close profile.
