What does Emerald Stairways - Greenlion smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the small number of ratings makes that a rough guide. Most voters pick spring, and winter is the least chosen season. It leans somewhat masculine, but feminine and modern readings appear too.

The scent as a whole reads fresh, green and floral. Bergamot, basil and green notes carry the bright side, while green mango and rose sweeten it slightly. Cardamom and pink pepper add spice, and cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli and amber form a woody base. Leather, Bourbon vanilla and cashmeran stay in the background. Cartier Déclaration d'Un Soir and Ben Sherman Icon have a close profile.
