What does Sauge smell like?

It runs along a spicy, woody line. Madagascar pepper, cumin and cypriol bring coolness together with a dry warmth, while sandalwood and frankincense lay a smoky, earthy base. Cypress, geranium and clary sage carry the green, fougère side, and tonka bean softens the edges a little.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, it wears comfortably in summer too, and winter is chosen less often. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions, with night-time well behind.
