What does Old Fashioned smell like?

It opens with davana and wheat absolute, which give a warm, fruity-sweet start. In the heart, immortelle absolute and cedarwood build a woody frame, and in the base styrax and tolu balm turn it resinous and smoky, softening the whole.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions. It reads more masculine to most voters, though a fair share find it feminine.
