What does O, Unknown! smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, though a fair number choose winter. It is linked mostly with leisure and daily wear, with evening and office use also getting votes. Voters split almost evenly on whether it reads feminine or masculine. It has been discontinued.

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one whole. Floral and sweet accords are softened by the powder of orris butter and the creamy warmth of musk and sandalwood. Kyoto moss adds an earthy tone, while Lapsang Souchong gives a smoky, leathery edge.
