What does Source¹ smell like?

Bergamot gives it a bright citrus lift, softened by fruity and spicy accords. Amber, myrrh and woody notes lay a warm, dry base underneath, while musk keeps everything smooth. Despite the fresh feel, there is a synthetic edge too.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, neither tight to the skin nor far-reaching. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Masculine and feminine votes are equal, so it sits between the two. Zara Dry Land and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) have a close profile.
