What does Édition Rare - Vici smell like?

Vici has moderate sillage and good longevity. Voters lean towards spring and fall, with winter close behind, and suggest it for leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits in the middle rather than pulling to one side.

The top notes of cardamom, violet and galbanum give a fresh, green, lightly spicy start. In the heart, lavender and iris bring a powdery floral feel. The base adds sweetness with raspberry and vanilla, over a woody floor of cedarwood and patchouli. Resinous and smoky shades run through the accords.
