OrientalWhat does 1969 smell like?
It lasts well and projects moderately. Most voters pick it for fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Though unisex, most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with peach and fruits, a sweet fruity start. The heart of rose, white blossoms, clove and cardamom balances floral and spicy tones. In the base, coffee and chocolate bring the gourmand side, while patchouli and white musk soften it into a smooth finish.
