What does Wilde smell like?
Most voters place it in spring, summer and fall, with winter far behind. Leisure and office wear get the most votes, and it works for daily use too. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though some see it as feminine or classic.
The top pairs grape with bergamot, giving citrus freshness with a touch of sweet fruit. The heart of carnation, tea and fig turns it floral and green. Oakmoss and vetiver dry it down onto a woody, earthy base. Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme and Ermenegildo Zegna Italian Bergamot have a close profile.
