What does High Frequency smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, while few choose summer. Evening and night out lead the occasions, with leisure and daily wear also getting votes. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it modern.

The scent runs along a floral line of jasmine, magnolia and heliotrope. Vanilla and almond pull it toward a gourmand, creamy sweetness, sandalwood leaves a warm dryness underneath, and hedione adds brightness. The synthetic and spicy accords sharpen its modern feel. Sol de Janeiro Sol Cheirosa '62 and Paris Corner Minya have a close profile.
