What does Liquid Karl smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. It is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out, and it gets some votes for business too. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though the feminine vote is sizeable.
It opens with cardamom, caraway and pepper for a spicy start. In the heart, frangipani, cocoa and soy bean add a floral, gourmand sweetness. Cedar and oakmoss leave a woody, green depth underneath.
