What does Scherrer 2 (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards nights out and evenings. It reads feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.

It opens with angelica, jasmine, rose, tuberose and Portuguese mandarin, floral with a fruity edge. Myrrh, cinnamon and cedar bring a spicy, woody warmth in the heart. It dries down on patchouli, benzoin and oakmoss, sweet, powdery and faintly animal.
