What does Albatross smell like?
In Albatross, cork, sea breeze, cottonwood, driftwood and marine notes sit together with no split into top, heart and base, so it reads as a single whole. The fresh, aquatic side leads, supported by green and woody tones, with a slightly spicy, synthetic edge running through it.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine. MiN New York Dune Road and L'Occitane Bois Flotté have a close profile.
