What does Carduus smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long time without projecting far. Most voters choose it for leisure and evenings. Masculine and feminine readings are close, which leaves it between the two.

Tuberose, heliotrope and rose absolute draw a floral frame, while chamomile and marjoram tea add a green, herbal touch. Clove and Bengal pepper bring the spice, mahogany and tobacco a dry, woody depth, and honey and cocoa absolute keep the sweetness soft.
