What does Fugue smell like?

Fugue's longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are split evenly, so it reads as open to both.

Pineapple, blackcurrant and honeysuckle build a bright, sweet fruit-and-flower side. Rum and sugar beet deepen that sweetness, while benzoin and frankincense add resinous warmth. Castoreum leaves an animal trace, and Clearwood™ and ISO-E-Super give a woody, slightly synthetic base.
