What does 99, Regent Street (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top notes feel green and lightly resinous. In the heart, jasmine sambac, freesia and iris add a soft floral touch, while the aquatic and fruity accords keep it light. The base of musk, ambrette seed and ambergris leaves a gently sweet, woody finish.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most votes call it masculine, with some seeing it as modern. Moresque Sahara Blue and Pierre de Velay No. 9 have a close profile.
