What does Ode to Dullness smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter. Leisure, daily wear and the office are its main settings. Voters lean feminine, with modern in second place.
Star anise and freesia open it, a spicy freshness softened by something floral. In the heart, sandalwood and floral notes give a woody, powdery, creamy body. Tonka bean and musk sweeten and smooth the base. The Body Shop White Musk for Men and Parle Moi de Parfum Milky Musk/39 have a close profile.
