What does Ulysse (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated as good, and most voters score its staying power high, while opinions on sillage are more mixed. It reads as unisex and sits comfortably on any skin. With no season or occasion votes to go on, its fresh, spicy build suggests an easy daytime wear.

Aniseed, lavender and grapefruit give a fresh, citrusy start. Clove, pink pepper and peppery notes then bring the spice forward. Sandalwood, patchouli and musk take over in the base, and the animal accord adds a warm, skin-like depth.
