What does Turn & Stare smell like?

Citrus fruits and blackcurrant give it a bright, fruity freshness. Osmanthus adds a creamy, floral softness, while spices and suede draw a leathery, powdery line through it. Indonesian patchouli sets an earthy, woody ground, and a chypre feel runs through the whole.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it reaches those nearby without overwhelming them. Voters spread it fairly evenly across leisure, daily wear, business, evening and nights out. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Rituals Silver Suede and Atelier Cologne Rendez-Vous have a close profile.
