What does Verticaloud smell like?

Most voters recommend autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it is also worn for leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

The opening is brightened by mandarin orange and rose, with nutmeg adding spice. Violet leaf absolute and cinnamon form the heart. The base of vetiver, cypriol, amyris, oud and amber leaves a woody, resinous, slightly leathery sweetness. Afnan Rare Carbon and Mancera Black Gold have a close profile.
