What does Insomnia smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Leisure and daily wear lead, with office wear not far behind. Around half of voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex.
Fresh and aquatic accords open with lemon and juniper berry, while leather and tobacco add a spicy edge. The heart holds cypriol, marine notes and patchouli. In the base, woody notes, sweet notes and amber warm and soften it, with a slightly synthetic sheen running through. Kenzo Kenzo Homme and Fragonard L'Aventurier have a close profile.
