What does Profile 1: Medusa smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring a distant third and summer rarely chosen. It suits evenings and nights out best. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it reads as wearable by either.

Blackberry, black rose and magnolia form the floral-fruity side. Clove and carnation add spice, patchouli and Spanish moss bring earth, and embers and stone point to smoke. Amber, labdanum and Peru balsam wrap it all in a sweet, resinous warmth. It has no top, heart and base split, so it reads as one whole.
