What does Athenean smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind and winter chosen least. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, which puts it squarely in between.
Green leaves and galbanum open with a sharp, crisp greenness. The heart of melon, fig tree and white tea brings a fruity, lightly sweet softness. White musk, amber and sandalwood round it off with a creamy, woody warmth. Premier Figuier and Heeley Figuier / Fig have a close profile.
