Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring and summer further behind. It is worn across daytime, evening and night out alike.
The opening is citrus and green: bergamot, mandarin orange zest, galbanum. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch while vetiver and lavender keep it dry and herbal. The base of labdanum, amber, leather and oakmoss turns leathery, smoky and earthy.
